Lycée Edward Steichen

Lycée Edward Steichen extends the concept of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to the notion of MIICT (Media, Images, Information and Communication Technologies). This takes into account the overlap between the all pervasive digital world and the media (press, radio, television, multimedia publishing, Web, etc.) and the widespread use of the Internet as the daily working envi- ronment. MIICT is also where ICT and critical thinking about ICT and information come together (via media education).

Our classes, as from P5, operate on a "One-to-One" principle, meaning that each pupil will have his or her own personal digital tablet (iPad) to use at school and at home. A modern curriculum strengthens young people while allowing them to use mo- bile technology as a valuable complementary learning tool.

The School bears the Future Hub label. Future Hub is a label for secondary schools that are open to technology and innovative learning in science, especially computer science.

It can happen that any child may need support at some time during their schooling. Different forms and levels of support are provided, designed to ensure appropriate help for pupils experiencing difficulties in a particular aspect of a subject or having special educational needs at any point in their school career, to allow them to develop and progress according to their potential and to be successfully integrated.

The diversity of our pupils’ cultural and linguistic backgrounds is a rich resource which fosters openness to the world. Communication is one of the keys to learning at the Lycée Edward Steichen. In parallel with developing intellectual faculties and the mind, the Lycée Edward Steichen is committed more widely to use citizenship as a means to come together and to develop social dialogue for increasing community cohesion and shared common values.

"Orientation, Awareness, Communication, Support, Information"

One period per week is reserved for activities of the OSCAR type. These activities focus on themes that are often overlooked or dealt with incidentally during traditional courses (e.g. learning to learn, 21st century skills, iPad management, addiction prevention and awareness, cyber awareness, school system, KIVA anti-bullying programme, pupil committee, etc.).

Every semester, i.e. every six months, each pupil can register for at least one 90-minute workshop per week in one of the following fi elds: art and culture, crafts, communication and media, science, sport, technology and innovation, living together. By focusing on the discovery of a wide range of active living areas, the interdisciplinary nature of our world of work, the development of 21st century skills, entrepreneurship, and project-based teaching, these workshops enable pupils to become responsible themselves for part of their academic and professional development.

Each pupil is supported by a coach. During weekly one to one interviews, the coach supports the pupil in developing his/her career plans. The coach listens to the pupil and helps him/her to build his/ her personal portfolio.

These activities include support courses and addressing gaps in learning, as well as cultural, sporting and scientific activities, and optional complementary learning activities.
The socio-educational service provides basic support outside the classroom, which is enriched by a range of teacher-run activities that assist, improve and develop further interest in learning science. Lo- cal educational providers - external to LESC - complete the school offer and create links with the wider community and region.
At the Reuler primary school site, the full day care programme and the extra-curricular and out-of-class activities are planned in close collaboration with day-care centre.

The École Edward Steichen adapts a constantly evolving guidance procedure. Its key components are:

• Adapted interdisciplinarity (manual work, mechanics, robotics, etc ...),
• A component which helps to organise everyday life in a meaningful way,
• A component to support professional life,
• A component to help prepare for student life (CV, competitions, interviews)

These guidance activities include collaboration with the world of work, such as optional and orientation internships with companies in the region and in the social sector.
These guidance activities also emphasise the partnership with the social and economic world beyond the classroom: Integrating the national and European sections within the Lycée Edward Steichen makes it possible to propose at any time the learning pathways best suited to each pupil so that he/she can succeed in his/her future professional life.
