Terrasson
The high school of Terrasson is situated in the department of the Dordogne belonging to the Aquitaine Region, in an off-centered position at the boundaries of the Bordeaux academy. It is situated in a Priority Education Zone (ZEP) and is now surrounded with schools in a Priority
Education Network (REP). Terrasson has less than 8000 inhabitants with some agri-food industries, few mechanical and paper factories and some tourism. However, there is no important cultural pole nearby and the people are not very mobile. The high school, set in 1992, includes 450 students, with economics, literary and scientific divisions besides vocational sectors such as Customers’ Reception (ARCU) and Trade. 60 % of the students are girls; 40 % of the workforce come from socially disadvantaged categories, half is coming from the surrounding countryside. The success rate in the
examinations is, nevertheless, one of the best of the Department of the Dordogne thanks to a strong mobilization of all the educational community. We organize two European classes (History and Geography in English and Spanish). The staff involved in the project is steady and qualified. Our
School has several times been involved in European Youth Parliament sessions, twice in Erasmus K2 projects (eight and four years ago) plus a Leonardo project and individual mobilities during a term for six students three years in a row. We hosted Spanish students too and Italian teachers in a KA1
project. Each time, it was very important, profitable and stimulating for the whole school, authorities, teachers and students.
