  • DigiSchool – posted on Youtube, digiSchool videos support middle and high school students and post-baccalaureate students with lessons given by associate professors. On the program, there are videos on French, history but also on mathematics. At the college level, there are courses on linear functions, remarkable identities or even affine functions.

French

  • To vary the activities, we suggest that you do family baccalaureate degrees. This game will allow your child and yourself to explore your knowledge. To make the rules a little harder, we advise you to use unusual letters and to add categories of words like: author / author or even cinematographic works / literary works.
  • Talks are a great way to test your child's knowledge in a fun way. This time, you can prepare the presentation for two, and the jury will be made up of family members.
