As you may know, the Lycée Français d’Oslo is committed to an eco-responsible approach.
For the past two years, the eco-delegates from the three French schools in Scandinavia have been working together on a shared charter for sustainable development, signed by their representatives and ratified by our school council.
It is now up to us to put this charter into practice. The first article of the declaration calls for a commitment to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
The school already provides supplies bearing labels such as “EU Ecolabel” and “Swan Ecolabel”, and every day, whenever possible, waste is sorted or recycled. To continue along this path, we need your support! Teachers have committed to reusing notebooks and school supplies from this year for the upcoming school year. We therefore encourage students not to throw away partially used notebooks, but to use them again next year. As a result, fewer new notebooks will be distributed at the start of the year.
Thank you for your commitment.

In order to reduce stationery waste, we have made sure that supplies which cannot be found in Norway are ordered by the school and distributed to students from 6ème to 3ème at the start of the 2025 school year. For all other materials, teachers will share their supply lists at the beginning of the year.
To limit waste of stationery, we have ensured that materials that cannot be found in Norway will be ordered by the school and given to students from 6èmes to 3ème at the start of the 2024 school year. Otherwise, at the start of the school year, each teacher will provide a list of the materials he or she needs.
For 6ème students:
Two mechanical pencils (0.5 mm or 0.7 mm)
Four erasable pens (at least one blue, plus green, red, and black), and a 4-color pen
Several glue sticks
One yellow highlighter
One eraser
One small ruler that fits in the pencil case
One small pencil case
Self-adhesive labels to mark school-provided materials

11th Grade French Program (Première)
Students will study four main literary themes during the year, one of which will be selected for their final written Baccalauréat exam:
The Novel
Poetry
Philosophical and Political Literature (Littérature des idées)
Theatre
Among these four areas, the Theatre component has not yet been finalized, as the official works were only recently announced by the French Ministry of Education and supporting materials are still being published. Students will receive full details at the start of the school year.
Within each theme, students are required to study one complete literary work in depth. This main text will be the basis for the essay question on the written exam. Each complete work is accompanied by related readings, which explore a dominant theme and help students develop richer responses for their essays.
From these related readings, each student will choose one text to present in the second part of the oral exam.
The main literary works must be thoroughly studied and fully understood. Three key passages will be analyzed in class for each complete work, and these will be listed in the student’s oral exam file for Part 1 of the oral. In addition, one excerpt related to the thematic focus of each complete work will also be studied and included. This brings the total number of required texts to sixteen (minimum) in the oral exam file.
French lessons throughout the year will focus on detailed study of these sixteen texts, and on helping students gain full mastery of the works. Active participation in class is essential for successfully understanding and preparing for both the written and oral components of the Baccalauréat.
