Nathalie LEPETIT (Mathematics, French and histoiry-geography teacher)
Cécile DUTRIEUX (ESFM association President)
Due to the small number of children enrolled at the CNED, courses offered outside school time bring together students of different levels.
2 mathematics teachers divide the students in the following way :
a class brings together Grades 7 and 9
a class brings together Grades 8 and 10
Grade 9 and 10 students have History of Geography lessons together on Thursdays
In 2019 Grade 7 and 9 students will be grouped together for French classes
Teachers make sure they are as available as possible to students by: - Explanations of fundamental notions - Individual monitoring of students during exercise times
In 2019, recommended by the teachers, the paper version of the CNED courses will be ordered for all students. They will also have access to the electronic version.
