Organization

chool year

* Every school year starts the first of September and ends June 30th. There is no school on public holidays.
* The average school day begins at 8:20am and ends at 4:30pm. Students get an hour break for lunch and a short recess every 2 periods (1 period = 50minutes). On Wednesday the school day starts at 8:20am and ends at 11:55am with a recess between the 2nd and 3rd period.

* The school year consists of three trimesters with an exam for each subject at the end of each semester. They also receive a grade on quality of their work over the entire trimester. (homework, tests, projects etc.) This makes for 5 grades for each subject at the end of the year.
** The students get a report card each trimester containing:
*** The evaluations of their performance for each subject.
*** The results of the exams for each subject.

Classes

There are 6 classes for the ASO division.(see picture on the right)The 6 classes are divided into 3 cycles:
* First cycle (year 1 and 2)
* Second cycle (year 3 and 4)
* Third cycle (year 5 and 6)
