- The first item explain why and how we create an astronomy and philosophy teaching for 15 years old students.
- In 2010, with the french high school reform, we improve the astronomy and philosophy teaching.
- First we give a course about what is philosophy, culture, science and technique.
- We teach also how to observe.
We can follow our curriculum in the table below.
