Our students acquire in depth knowledge to become active future citizen of the world.
Since the reform of the baccalauréat in 2019, the organization of studies at the lycée has been radically overhauled to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The main objective is to better prepare students for higher education and the professional world by offering them an education tailored to their interests, ambitions and the needs of society.
A rethought structure
The new baccalauréat is organized into a core curriculum and specializations:
Starting with the 2027 exam session, all 11th-grade students (general and technological tracks) will sit a written mathematics examination.
This exam is marked out of 20, with a coefficient of 2. It consists of two parts: a multiple-choice/skills section (6 points) and exercises (14 points). The result will be included in the student’s application file for higher education (e.g., Parcoursup).
Distribution Between Continuous Assessment and Final Examinations
For the 2026 session, continuous assessment accounts for 40% of the final grade, and final examinations account for 60%.
Example of coefficient distribution (general track):
Continuous assessment: specialty dropped in 12th grade (coef. 8), modern languages A and B (coef. 6 each), history–geography (6), scientific studies (6), physical education (6), moral & civic education (2) → total 40.
Final examinations: the two specialties kept in 12th grade (coef. 16 each), the Grand Oral (8), mathematics (2), philosophy (8), written French exam (5) and oral French exam (5) → total 60.
Students benefit from personalized support throughout their studies, to help them define their choices and project themselves into the future. Guidance sessions, practical workshops and regular exchanges with teachers are all part of the program.
A progressive system of specializations
In Première, students choose three specialty courses, each offering in-depth immersion in a specific discipline.
In Terminale, they retain two of these, which they continue with an increased number of hours. This progressive system enables students to explore several fields before specializing further, while maintaining a solid foundation thanks to the core curriculum. This organization encourages a thoughtful transition to higher education and better preparation for post-bac studies.
The LFO offers six specialty teaching options.
These specialties enable students to build a tailor-made educational path, adapted to their aspirations and the challenges of tomorrow. If you have any questions or require further information, please contact our guidance counselor (cop@lfo.no), visit the Horizon 21 website or read this article of the Ministère de l’Education Nationale.
In Première, each specialization represents a weekly volume of 4 hours. In Terminale, this volume is increased to 6 hours per specialization, enabling students to deepen their knowledge and skills in the two specializations retained.
The baccalauréat exams include :
A common continuous assessment for the specialties taken in Première, with coefficients adapted to the overall average.
Final exams for the two Terminale specialties, each with a coefficient of 16, making them key factors in success at the baccalauréat.
These arrangements ensure that the value of the specialties chosen is enhanced, while maintaining a balance with the other core subjects. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact our teaching team.
The ability to learn several languages and understand a broad range of cultures is at the heart of our educational approach. Our students are immersed in the Norwegian environment from the preschool.
Students also learn English from CE2 (equivalent to 3d grade). The school broadens its academic offer thanks to workshops and activities both in Norwegian and English. In 5eme (equivalent to 7th grade), the students are learning a third language 2h30 every week. They can choose between German and Spanish.
The French School also offers various sports, school trips and extra-curricular activities, including homework assistance.
This broad range of physical and cultural activities fosters fulfillment and well-being for all pupils. They are led by experienced teachers and are open to
everyone.
The school’s assessment project, drawn up by the teaching staff in each lycée, sets out common principles for student assessment.
All teachers have access to a common evaluation guide to harmonize practices.
The school’s class council validates the student’s continuous assessment grades.
The academic harmonization commission may, if necessary, lower or raise the continuous assessment marks awarded by the class council. The academic baccalaureate jury validates the results and awards honors.
