AU RA Y Lycée Général et technologique Benjamin Franklin Benjamin Franklin High School hosts 950 students from 60 small towns. Pupils live in a rural environment and it is not so easy for us to travel and to guess they will be able to study and work far from home. The main objectives are: to promote open culture and international dimension, to differentiate instructional practices and help students prepare for their social and professional integration. So every project that involves many subjects is supported. The Comenius project is envisaged as a means of improving investment students, their independence, self-esteem and openness to others. Momentum is built around several teachers (Latin, French, Visual Arts, English, Spanish, Documentation), technical staff and management ( Manager, Principal Education Advisor). The school has computer facilities, funded by the Brittany Region and the training of personnel in this area, supported by the Office of the Rector of the Academy of Rennes. Furthermore our school devotes great space to Art- there is a gallery that allows expositions- and enhances visual, multimedia and artistic languages. Teacher 's team is energic and have a good experience in travel's organization. (Last years, two exchanges allowed to welcome pupil o f Spain and Holland).
