Among these, the three significant growth and innovation challenges of the energy transition, manufacturing, and healthcare emerge and structure the curriculum. In a progressive environment, where the professions of tomorrow will rely on knowledge that does not exist today, and where this reality is revitalized by globalization that requires careful observation of a perpetually changing context, Centrale Nantes strives to share with its students, teachers, researchers, staff, and all its partners three fundamental values. Beyond its necessary contribution to the creation of the wealth of a structure, engineers, as well as teachers and researchers, have the moral duty to be responsible actors for the future of the planet, for social equilibrium through job creation, for the professional well-being of their employees, and to participate in the responsible edification of the city, it is social as well as entrepreneurial fabric. The message of the School is not only that of corporate social responsibility, but also that of ethics: to provide meaning to one's professional activity, a meaning that can even surpass the self, but that carries the vision that man is at the center of a world which, without ethics, could be under threat. In 2014, a significant debate was organized at the School on the following question: "engineer and citizen or citizen engineer"? The participating students and staff's response was almost unanimous: an engineer must be intrinsically citizen; the two are inseparable. While preserving their personality and autonomy, the five Centrale Schools: Lille, Lyon, Nantes, Marseille, and Supélec (Paris) chose to join forces within Ecoles Centrale Group in 1990. This grouping allows, first of all, better visibility of these institutions vis-à-vis institutions and industry. In this sense, it fosters collaborations with companies. Thanks to the Centrale Group, our engineering students have to access a wider choice of courses with the possibility of completing their final year in one of the other schools. The Centrale Schools share a common ethic on the training of versatile high-level engineers for industry.

At the beginning of the 2014/15 university year, the ENSCR had its accreditation to issue engineering degrees CTIrenewed by the CTI, the Engineering Awards Committee, for the maximum period of six years. The ENSCR engineering diploma is accredited as EUR-ACE. As part of its quality policy, the ENSCR and the school management have defined a number of values to try to bring out ensure-iso9001the notion of "the establishment's philosophy." The ENSCR hopes this will reinforce the sentiment of internal cohesion and help all the School's staff and students to fully adopt these values and promote them in the outside world. The School of Chemistry in Rennes was founded in 1919 at the initiative of the Chamber of Commerce as part of the Polytechnic of Brittany, later the Polytechnic of the West. The first intake of engineers graduated in 1921 and went into metallurgy and mining as well as the food industry. The creation of the Rennes Institute of Chemistry resulted from a collaborative effort with the Faculty of Sciences, which was to become the ICUR (Institute of Chemistry of the University of Rennes). In 1959, the ICUR obtained authority to issue engineering degrees and rose to the status of a national higher engineering college (ENSI). In 1967, the ENSCR moved onto the Rennes Beaulieu campus in premises shared with the Department of Chemistry of the IUT of Rennes, which prevented it from controlling its development, and educational independence. As society has changed, chemistry has diversified into a range of increasingly specialized disciplines in which engineers at the ENSCR are trained. Their skills and adaptability fit them for careers in all industrial sectors in France and around the world. The versatility typical of engineers from the ENSCR guarantees them attractive careers and new prospects in management, marketing, or administration. Chemical engineers develop chemicals, principles, and products that can lead, for example, to the production of pharmaceuticals or cosmetics. They also play a part in developing manufacturing techniques, creating products, quality control, and marketing. Whether they are looking for short or academic exchange courses lasting one term or a complete degree course, international students will find that the ENSCR offers perfect conditions for reaching their goals. The School welcomes international students at all levels and for a wide range of situations and programs (visiting students, exchange visits, integrated programs, bi-national programs, Erasmus+, placements in laboratories, etc.). There are students of twenty or so nationalities from all over the world currently studying at the ENSCR. The ENSCR offers them a range of opportunities to broaden their experience and find other ways of thinking, learning, and working in Europe or the rest of the world. Gaining experience abroad is strongly recommended to all students in the engineering course. Students who enter the ENSCR are aware that experience gained abroad adds tremendous value to their training. The ECTS system (European Credit Transfer System) is to create transparency within France and Europe for the weighting given to course modules or placements. All students who have moved to one of our European partners will receive several credits to correspond with the period of study or placement that they have undergone, which will be credited in their courses at the ENSCR. This is an inter-governmental program that allows students to spend 1 or 2 terms within a network of partner universities in Argentina. This network includes the following establishments: the Universidad Nacional del Litoral, the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste, and the Universidad Nacional del Centro de Buenos Aires, each specializing in water and the environment. All students who take these courses receive a grant. Acquisitions are made to the collections to reflect ENSCR users' needs for information along with existing resources in the libraries of the documentary system. To ensure user demand matches available resources, the Documentation Centre encourages input from academics, students, and research fellows who have a significant influence on the Centre and its acquisitions.

Since the mid-18th century, French engineering schools have spearheaded the nation's economic development and social progress. École des Mines de Saint-Étienne in France's oldest elite engineering school outside Paris, and the fifth oldest among France's 250. The School is part of a family of seven "National Schools of Mines" created between 1783 and 1992. The history of the School is all about "value exploration and value mining." No wonder that the old mine safety lamp (patented by a school alumnus, Jean-Baptiste Marsaut, class of 1850, is still today the School's symbol: all we do is about discovery and enlightening! The School is proud of its substantial share in France's educational and industrial heritage. However, in no way is the School haunted by nostalgic memories. It has always been at the forefront of engineering education and innovations. The school "trademark" has recently been illustrated by the foundation of two new, fast-developing research units exploring the frontiers between engineering and life sciences: the Health and Engineering center, and the Department of Bioelectronics. Institut Mines-Télécom: the creation of the first group of engineering and business schools in France. The creation of the Institut Mines-Télécom on 1st March 2012, made official by the decree of 28th February 2012, brings the Mines Schools and Institut Télécom Schools together to form the first group of engineering and business schools in France, making it a key player in higher education, research, and innovation.

What sets the School apart is that it brings together disciplines that no other higher education institution combines in quite the same way or at the same level: the natural sciences, engineering, and the social sciences. In this unique environment, normalize students receive research-intensive training leading to master's and doctoral degrees in their chosen discipline, frequently coupled with an advanced teaching qualification. ENS Paris-Saclay is also a research center with 14 laboratories covering all the disciplines taught at the School. It maintains partnerships with research organizations such as CNRS, INRIA, CEA, and other higher education and research institutions. In close collaboration with industry, the School conducts many high-level research programs through research chairs and joint laboratories involving companies in the aeronautics, aerospace, energy, automotive, and IT sectors (Airbus, EDF, Atos, Hewlett-Packard, etc.). Through its laboratories, ENS Paris-Saclay is involved in four clusters in the greater Paris region and numerous laboratories and international research groups in China, Korea, Japan, Israel, India, Brazil, and the United States. The mission of ENS Paris-Saclay is to prepare students for careers in teaching and research, with a research led-education of the highest standard. To fulfill this mission, the School must develop cutting-edge research activities while offering excellent graduate training at both doctorate and master's level. Research at ENS Paris-Saclay reflects a commitment to linking basic research to applications with a robust experimental dimension. As a member of Université Paris-Saclay, the School can intensify collaboration with laboratories from the other partner institutions and coordinate its strategy with theirs. The School also benefits from Université Paris-Saclay's high profile and international attractiveness to diversify its student body. The École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay is a public higher education and research institution (known under French law as an Établissement public à caractère scientifique, culturel et professionnel). The School determines its teaching and research policy and organizes it to implement it, in line with the relevant regulatory framework and its contractual commitments.

At the same time, a French grande école and a university, the Ecole normale supérieure provides in Paris, at the heart of the Quartier Latin, excellent training through research, leading to various teaching and research professions, and contributes to training through research the senior executives of public administrations as well as of French and European companies. The ENS also defines and applies scientific and technological research policies from a multidisciplinary and international perspective. Intellectual freedom, multidisciplinarity in humanities and sciences, individual attention to students, bountiful campus life, gathering students and professors from all disciplines form the heart of the specificities of the Ecole normale supérieure. For more than two centuries, the ENS prepares its students for the most various openings and the highest responsibilities while being fully invested in the intellectual, scientific, and cultural debates of its time – mainly through the multiplicity of the normalized' engagement. The Ecole normale supérieure maintains close relationships with various partners, in France or abroad, particularly within the framework of international agreements, corporate sponsorship, and initiatives taken by private individuals, relying on partner foundations. The École normale supérieure is a member of Université Paris Sciences et Lettres. This institution has been founded by 25 prestigious institutions established in Paris, which have gathered together. All these institutions have in common to train their students through research. They are all willing to create disciplinary convergences, make innovation and creativity more dynamic, attract and train the best students, and research a real growth driver. The Management team of the ENS has the mission to design and implement the scientific and educational policy of the Ecole normale supérieure. They submit their proposals to the Scientific Advisory Board, which gives an opinion, and the Administrative Advisory Board, which validates the strategic guidelines and budgetary choices. The Management team sets up some consensus and decision-making structures to promote discussion and consensus within the institution. The Management team ensures the preservation of the ENS's identity and its level of excellence. They take great care of the ENS's development and influence both on a national and international level. The Director is appointed, by decree of the President of the French Republic, for a five-year term, immediately renewable once. He leads and coordinates the considerations for the definition of the general policy of the institution. He represents the ENS in France and abroad and negotiates partnerships. He appoints the jury members for the competitive examinations. Since 2012 Marc Mézard leads the Ecole normale supérieure. The Ecole normale supérieure aims at varying its students' profiles and incorporates students to be enrolled in the 3rd year of bachelor (license 3) or 1st year of master (master 1), coming from all over the world and from all disciplines. The competitive examination of the International selection is intended for young graduates in Arts & Humanities as well as Sciences. They justify at least one year of undergraduate studies in a foreign university and distinguish themselves with outstanding results. All member institutions have a strong identity, a limited number of students, and a strong commitment towards research: these are the right conditions for an academic culture of excellence. They have decided to gather to join their forces and build research projects of international reach and high-ranking interdisciplinary training. PSL has a global academic training offer, from undergraduate programs to doctoral programs, in all disciplinary fields, from life and matter sciences to humanities and social sciences, from art creation to economics and management. PSL launches now cultural and sports initiatives, in which students and staff from the member institutions take part. Among these projects, the PSL Chorus and Orchestra is incredibly noticeable and followed there is also the Sports association AS PSL or the Revue PSL journal.

ParisTech is a collective entity that includes 12 of the most prestigious French institutes of education and research. MINES ParisTech is one of the founding members of this research and higher education cluster of excellence, composed of several French Grandes Ecoles (executive engineering and business schools). In November 2003, ParisTech launched an ambitious project to promote, gather and give free access to the largest number of course materials from the 11 member Institutes: "ParisTech Libres Saviors," meaning literally "ParisTech free Knowledge". This is the primary goal of the ParisTech Graduate School website. Now, MINES ParisTech is one of the driving forces in ParisTech Graduate School. The analysis shows that internet users give preference over MINES ParisTech classes and download preferably our thesis. The library houses 378 different periodicals and online electronic resources: 5,600 electronic publications/53,300 resources and 1,300 digital books. Students can consult your future online (Pastel), and a portal for online publications is available to users. In collaboration with the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, since 1995, the library has also developed an inter-library network with ParisTech, GEM (Groupe des Ecoles des Mines), Couperin, and Sudoc. The patrimonial collection of MINES ParisTech library, going back up to the 16th Century, is constituted of books, periodicals, manuscripts, and maps. This technical and scientific collection is particularly rich in mining, the metal industry, mineralogy, chemistry, and machines. The most significant part of the patrimonial collection catalogs is not computerized yet and is only accessible by the old paper catalogs. However, the catalog of books printed before 1900 is being integrated into the database of the library. MINES ParisTech was created in 1783 when the exploitation of mines was a high-technology industry. Quite naturally, the skills of the School followed the development of industry and MINES ParisTech. Nowadays, studies develop and teach all the useful techniques for engineers, including economic and social sciences. The background of the School, connected to the industry of mines, concentrating all the scientific knowledge, opens all the fields of research today: transport, energy, mechanics. Since 1783, the School has always been able to keep ahead of a changing world by launching projects with future potential. All students have access to it and can make use of the geological information for free. The Mineralogy Museum hosts exhibitions on the premises of the Hôtel de Vendôme and at regional and foreign locations (e.g., Athens, Alexandria, and Casablanca, etc.). It also welcomes school parties, amateurs, and foreign museum curators. It organizes meetings and workshops on themes chosen at the request of associations such as Les Amis du Louvre or the Association for the Advancement of Science, etc. The 286 research professors provide the students with high-level teaching. The aim is for academic excellence with 286 research professors, 100 theses, and 400 articles or books in crucial research fields published every year. The international dimension is a real aspect of MINES ParisTech. Life at the School will bring you in contact with students from more than 50 different countries. Intermixing of students from different years. The research centers are open to international exchange. Students must command two foreign languages, and placements lasting between four and twelve months in a foreign institution for engineering students are a vital feature of the School's international vocation. MINES ParisTech provides a unique environment for your benefit.

If there is one philosophy to retain about EPBI, it’s the one about open-mindedness to the world and international awareness. With various nationalities already present at our school but also an international curriculum that promotes bilingualism, “multicultural” is the adjective at the heart of our school in Baillargues. EPBI welcomes pupils from the age of 2 to 18. It offers a bilingual education through to the end of the 3ème and then offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme to the sixth form pupils. The school is also an official Cambridge exam preparation center for pupils aged 7-18 years. EPBI welcomes all pupils from all backgrounds to give them an adapted education for the students’ needs, without neglecting excellence and ambition that can be highlighted by our excellent exam results in previous years. This year our students excelled once again in all the national exams. We have had 100% success once again in the Brevet and Baccalaureate this year with the majority of our pupils getting special merit or distinction. We would like to congratulate our pupils on all their hard work which reflects the high standards of this school. we would also like to congratulate our teachers for their implication and passion for teaching, their ability to transfer knowledge and prepare your children for exams efficiently. Our pupil's desire to learn has become contagious creating pupils who are accomplished, happy and motivated. This is present everywhere in the corridors of our school. Next year, We will have the honor of presenting our first set of students for the IB Diploma Programme. With a particularly enthusiastic and recently trained teaching team (through rigorous IB workshops) two separate 1st year IB classes were set up this year, one in French and the other in English. This project was presented to you in my letter last year. International Baccalaureate The IB Diploma is very sought after by the most prestigious universities in France and the world. Our students have already validated part of their continuous assessment work which is marked internally by our teachers. This particular philosophy and atmosphere that has stemmed from the IB students and staff has transcended the whole school. Students are placed at the center of their learning and knowledge acquisition they have matured in their relationship with the school and have got involved in highly ambitious projects. We have noticed this maturity and hunger for knowledge that has prevailed at our school this year, driven by our IB students. Being witness to such to this desire for knowledge has helped me to come up with another new project for the school, for you, for our pupils and parents: it is the secondary school IB program or Middle Years Programme (MYP). Life is not only a question of knowledge and learning at school, it is also having the opportunity and the ability to develop a project and discover the world. This is something that is illustrated by EPBI through its diverse initiatives. Thanks to the investment made by our teaching staff and also by our students, we were able to: organize a cross country fun run uniting all the children at our school, including teachers, students, and families: participate in the Montpellier-Reine run for research in breast cancer: work with a charity to provide toys and books for orphans in Madagascar. As we have been doing for 30 years, we have also helped our pupils discover new horizons: Ireland, The Basque Country, and the class verte. EPBI is not only a school. It’s a place conveying values and helping pupils to become responsible citizens of the world. At the dawn of our 30th school year, the teaching team and We would like to wish all new parents and pupils a very warm welcome, a welcome back to our regular parents and pupils, and wish you a 30th school year that fulfills all our hopes and expectations.

The EBI was created in 1996 to meet the needs of the expatriate community of the Michelin Group in Clermont-Ferrand. Since that time, it has always been a part of the Massillon School through its partnership agreement. Over the years, Clermont-Ferrand and its surroundings have developed a more international openness. Thanks to the support of the Michelin Corporate Foundation, we now welcome a larger and more diverse community within the school. With over 20 years of experience, E.B.I. allows children of international families or French families coming back from expatriation to maintain and develop their English and French language skills. Our Anglophone teachers deliver a program that is unique in the Regional Education Authority. EBI is integrated into l’Ensemble Scolaire Massillon, a private Catholic Primary, Middle, and High School accredited by the French Ministry of Education with a total of nearly 1,400 students with 30 nationalities represented. We work with and for pupils who are part of the bilingual program in the school. The members of the teaching team design programs and teaching materials which combine high standards with a differentiated approach. We aim for excellence whilst being mindful of the needs of each child and teenager. We aspire to create an environment that supports children in their lifelong journey of self-development, discovery, and growth. The whole EBI team is available to answer your questions and welcome your family in the best possible way. Perhaps France and Clermont-Ferrand are completely new to you and you are busy unpacking boxes and settling in. In this context, we sincerely hope you will enjoy your time here. You can be reassured that your children will feel safe and happy at our school, whilst they develop their skills and knowledge. We aim to support all new families as they arrive throughout the year: our teachers are available to discuss with you about your child and we are pleased to have the support of a strong body of parents to help whenever necessary. We are proud of our diversity, with more than 20 nationalities and many languages represented. We seek to create a broad range of opportunities for our children, whatever their background and to help them integrate and interact with each other. We believe in a harmonious multinational, multiethnic community able to live and learn together. Our school is a small school providing high-quality international education for the increasing international community in and around Clermont-Ferrand. We are proud of being able to offer that personal touch: a welcoming friendliness that a small school can offer. We also enjoy being part of the Massillon school and being involved in all cultural and social events it offers.

Vsa school has been present in Aix en Provence for over ten years. The school allows each pupil to reach his/her personal goals in agreement with the family and the teaching staff. In a studious but non the less convivial atmosphere pupils prepare not only French exams ( Brevet des collèges, Baccalauréat général in litterature, economics and scientific sections ) as well as international exams ( PET, KET, FCE ). Alongside academic work extracurricular cultural and sporting activities are organized allowing each pupil to full development. Teaching is delivered by competent and experienced teachers who are available and attentive to each pupil’s needs. The success of the student in his studies.

We intend to make every effort to enable our students to become balanced adults, and able by their training and knowledge, to find the best place in the current world. It is necessary to work in harmony with parents. In addition, our constant concern is to follow the evolution of our society to facilitate the adaptation and the transition from school life to professional life. Our students need to realize that the time for study is not part of a world apart, but it represents an essential basis for the construction of their personality and an important element in their integration into society. In this future perspective, we have multiple missions whose ambition is certainly demanding, but extremely rewarding. Frame our young students to make them aware of their responsibilities. Their academic future is indeed linked to the Acquisition and development of working methods where their will and autonomy must constantly assert. Knowing children and students we charge, creates a trust relationship to individually organize, direct their work in an atmosphere of mutual understanding.

Founded by Jeannine Manuel in 1954, the then Ecole Active Bilingue became an associated UNESCO school in 1957. Since 1959, the School has also been linked to the French national education system through a « contract d’association » with the Ministry of Education, which provides substantial subsidies to independent schools in France. In 1979, the School changed its name to Ecole Active Bilingue Jeannine Manuel (EABJM) and moved to its current main campus, 70 rue du Théâtre in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. The next year, EABJM became the first independent International Baccalaureate (IB) school in France and, in 1992, opened its Lille campus with boarding facilities. In 2004, the Fondation Jeannine Manuel was created shortly after the passing of the School’s founder and, ten years later, the School marked its sixtieth anniversary by shortening its name to, simply, Ecole Jeannine Manuel, thereby honoring her and affirming the School’s identity. The following year, the School’s namesake opened in London where the dream had begun more than seventy years before. Today, Ecole Jeannine Manuel is the largest non-profit coeducational independent school in France. We welcome over 3,200 students from nursery to twelfth grade, in Paris, and Lille, representing almost eighty nationalities and every major cultural and religious tradition. Students follow an enriched bilingual curriculum and, in eleventh grade, choose between the French track leading to the international option of French baccalaureate (American section) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB). Academic standards are high: Ecole Jeannine Manuel is consistently ranked among the top French schools (ranked first among French high schools – public or private – in 2013, 2014, and 2015). There are three campuses in Paris: Dupleix, Suffren, and Théâtre with a total of almost 2,400 students a campus in Lille with 860 students (including 120 boarders) and a sister school in London with 350 students from nursery to 8th grade (September 2016), which will grow into a primary and secondary school of 1,100 students leading – as in France – to the French baccalaureate or the IB Our School's mission is to promote international understanding through the bilingual education of a multicultural community of students and to foster pedagogical innovation by exploring best practices in an ever-changing global environment.

PFL is Europe’s most cosmopolitan technical university with students, professors, and staff from over 120 nations. A dynamic environment, open to Switzerland and the world, EPFL is centered on its three missions: teaching, research, and technology transfer. EPFL works together with an extensive network of partners, including other universities and institutes of technology, secondary schools and colleges, industry and economy, political circles, and the general public, to bring about real impact for society. Working for the Ecole Polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) means being part of a prestigious school that consistently ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. As a public university dedicated to improving the world around us, we have three missions: training, research, and technology transfer. We boast one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and employ more than 6,000 people. Our employees perform high-value-added work in teaching and research and the School’s administrative and technical services. Between our main campus in Lausanne and our satellite campuses in Geneva, Neuchâtel, Fribourg, and Sion, our workforce comprises more than one hundred different professions. At EPFL, we foster a culture of respect and inclusion in the workplace. We promote a healthy work-life balance through flexible working hours and on-campus daycare and sports facilities. Our employees also benefit from belonging to a diverse community of 16,000 people – including over 10,000 students and 3,500 researchers – from 120 different countries. Our planet faces multiple challenges to the environment, some of the major ones being - climate change, depletion of resources such as drinking water, increasing pollution, human population growth, and the loss of biodiversity. The problems related to the environment are not only varied but are also becoming increasingly complex. While the solutions to these problems involve human, economic, and social dimensions, they cannot be resolved without reference to the latest technological and scientific progress. At ENAC, four scientific communities come together under one roof: environmental engineers, civil engineers, architects, and social scientists. Combining disciplinary depth and interdisciplinary breadth, our teaching and research activities in architecture, civil and environmental engineering share the common goal of improving the environment we use, create, and live in. From fundamental to applied science, engineering, and practice, research at ENAC aims to be immediately relevant to society at large, offering solutions to meet a wide range of challenges: mitigating and adapting to global warming accommodating a growing population dealing with increasing land-use pressures and meeting the increasing demand for energy and transportation continually improving and maintaining the built environment preserving ecosystems managing natural and human-made risks These multi-faceted fields require long-term, multidisciplinary research at an international level, carried out as a creative interaction between art, science, and engineering. Since its creation, ENAC has demonstrated how the proximity between architects, civil, and environmental engineers, and the fundamentally interdisciplinary approach that characterizes the School support the emergence of new research domains at the interface between these traditional disciplines, uniquely positioning it to be a leader in these fields.

The Ecole d’Humanité is a progressive, international boarding school in the heart of the Swiss Alps that fosters the discovery and development of individual talents in an atmosphere that encourages self-determination, innovation, and tolerance. For over a century these words have expressed the essential challenge that our school invites its students to take on. And because each student is different, this challenge assumes a new form for every one of them. A belief in the utter uniqueness of each student forms the core of Ecole’s philosophy of education. We trust in and respect our students in all their diversity, and we listen to and value their voices. We foster a culture of individuation and negotiation, a dynamic middle way between conformity and rebellion. Ecole students co-construct their school experience, reflect on their successes and struggles, and find their particular niches in a cohesive and lively community. Here they can grow and express their uniqueness, knowing all the while that they are a necessary and valued part of the whole. In such an environment they develop confidence in their strengths and aptitudes, a realistic appraisal of their weaknesses and stumbling blocks, and an intrinsic sense of responsibility and compassion. When the creative risk is encouraged, education becomes an adventure. The Ecole is a diverse learning community composed of students from a wide range of cultural, national, and economic backgrounds. We look for students who think and act genuinely and independently, who wish to discover and develop their unique gifts – whatever these may be – to the full. If you wish to join us in the adventure of discovering who you are in the context of a lively, creative, and sometimes demanding community life, we encourage you to apply. "When the creative risk is possible, education becomes an adventure." Academic life at our school is not a spectator sport! Choice and passion, negotiation, and what-ifs: at Ecole, students actively shape their learning. Even before classes start, Ecole students determine when and how they will study what, constructing an academic program that they will own, not just participate in. Once classes start, students work together in small groups, develop original problem-solving skills, and dare to ask difficult questions. They receive individualized, carefully differentiated feedback instead of grades, and actively and regularly reflect on and evaluate their work. Our graduates become diverse learners and leaders who possess the intellectual, social, and ethical habits to positively impact their communities. "The quality and quantity of social interaction in the Ecole community, along with wonderful physics and math classes with five or six students, made a lasting impression on me, and contributed in a major way to my decision to become a doctor."
