I found this on the front page (google translate applied) :
"Since the 2020-2021 academic year, the Claude Chappe high school has been welcoming post-baccalaureate students to train them in the maintenance of light electric vehicles. Attached you will find an excerpt from our training framework as well as our company/training center calendar… "
Also a reference elsewhere that they take pupils from 15 to 22. This isn’t cut-and-dried.
The criteria clarification collection contains this:
“schools or facilities primarily focused for persons under 18 years of age”
It definitely is NOT the case that somewhere that has any students under 18 attending is considered K-12 and is immediately not eligible. That would rule out every single university, because they can easily have gifted students joining a year early.
I think “primarily” should be removed, and this be worded better. Staff tends to err on the safer side when it comes to any schools that do allow those under 18 to attend and tends to remove them.
I would never submit the vocational school in my hometown, as not only does it offer classes for adults, it also offers classes to 14-18 yr old high school students in the area. This seems to be a similar type of school, training those for careers after middle school, as well as offering some courses for those over 18, but I’d assume the main focus is on those under 18 not looking to further their education and get into the workforce as soon as they can.
I haven’t offered an opinion on whether this place focusses primarily on over or under 18. I literally meant it isn’t cut-and-dried but needs a judgement call.
I think the word “primarily” has to remain unless an alternative is found that also isn’t absolute, because it can’t be an absolute for the reason I gave.
The problem you have is finding a clear explanation that doesn’t give lots of wiggle room. For example,
“schools or facilities primarily, or to a significant degree, focused for persons under 18 years of age”
This would be awful, because “primarily” is fairly easy to agree on (unless someone is trolling), but anything weaker is open to a lot of interpretation.
So, the name of the school translates to Vocational High School Claude Chappe in English. This suggests that it is primarly focused on 18 and under students, looking to prepare for a career right after high school.
It is also one campus building, not separate. There are some schools like this that have separate buildings for those under 18 and those over 18 for their studies, but I only see 1 building.
Also, in addition to these debates, this lycée is managed by the Académie de Versailles. Académies are the institutions in charge of primary school, collège (not the same meaning as in the USA, it’s for ages 10–14) and lycée (ages 15–18). Universities are not part of an Académie, nor are other institutions of higher education such as research or management schools.
