In M1, which is thus the second year of Higher Secondary, students keep their choice of specific option, their standard or higher level of Mathematics and their higher level of German.
In M1, our students will be introduced to university education. Some classes will take place in our auditoriums which can welcome up to 80 students.

M3 at ECOLE MOSER

Swiss Maturité, Bilingual German

M3 is the final year of Higher Secondary (College) at Ecole Moser. The M3 curriculum provides a more in-depth university-style education which includes lectures in an auditorium, multidisciplinary work sessions in groups and the monitoring of the group by a dedicated tutor

The student chooses his or her special option (option complémentaire) from the range of options on offer. 
He or She also completes the Maturité Project/Thesis which he or she started in M2. The thesis is about 15 pages long and is followed by an oral presentation to a jury. The thesis can be written in German (strongly recommended for Bilingual German M3 students) or in another language. The research topic and research question are freely chosen by the student but must be linked to a subject of the Maturité curriculum. Students can also choose to prepare a technical/artistic project or to set up an extra-curricular project.

At the end of the year, the December and June exam grades and the grades acquired in continuous assessment all along the year in History, Geography, Philosophy, History of Art and Special Option (option complémentaire) as well as the Maturité Project/Thesis grade, become the final grades for those subjects. They count for the final Maturité diploma results.

The written and oral Maturité exams for French, German, English, Mathematics and the Specific Option are held at the end of June and beginning of July at school. The results of these exams count for the final Maturité diploma results.
