They choose a subject that interests them and work on it according to a list of precise instructions. For one year whole, the student will make his/her researches, assisted by a teacher. This work will lead to a written and/or oral report.

Belgium is a great country for education. Indeed, they benefit from one of the highest student supervision rates in the world. On the other hand, the freedom of the Organizing Powers in the choice of learning methods is guaranteed by the Constitution of 1831 and recalled by the School Pact of 1959.
With the current crisis period that humanity is living, it is urgent to train united and optimistic creative citizens because Man has been able to cross all the perils of History essentially by uniting and inventing, with faith in a better future.
