Lycée des Mascareignes promotes sporting excellence
X Lycée des Mascareignes in Moka has embarked on the challenge of preparing future sports champions through its Pôle Espoir. Sixty young athletes from 13 different federations will join the school by 2024. This unique youth training academy is supported and approved by the French Ministry of Education through the Agency for French Teaching Abroad ( AEFE).
The aim is to enable these young athletes to free up time for training twice a day without interfering with their schooling. A four-year Baccalaureate programme has therefore been set up to extend their schooling. This will provide them with the necessary conditions to become champions. The first group of 26 athletes (girls and boys) started their schooling on 2 September 2021! P
