Curriculum in a French Primary School
Primary school education consists of five years of education. These five years are divided over two main 'cycles of learning'.
The first three years in primary school are called the cycle apprendissages fondamentaux where the emphasis is on the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic.
The next two years is called the cycle de consolidation.
The basic curriculum for each cycle is shown below, which can be subject to only minor local variation.
