Collège Alphonse de Lamartine

I just received today the official letter from the rectorat confirming Jerome's registration next year at collège Lamartine. Actually I say "official" but I didn't know myself until I opened the letter which college Jerome would would be attending: there were two realistic possibilities for partner colleges for the CRR. Besides being nice to know which college, it's great to have the official approval and confirmation of the rectorat, because being admitted into the CRR is conditional on the rectorat giving their approval. Apparently they do occasionally reject students who are weak academically. That must be absolutely brutal for those who pass the CRR audition, but then get rejected on academic grounds by the rectorat. Not that there was any worry in Jerome's case. Also, it means that I managed to successfully navigate the bureaucratic process - it wasn't without a snag or two along the way, but now I have the letter with the official stamp of the rectorat, so everything is golden.

Here is the website for college Lamartine. First a link to their photos page:

For those who want to read the French, here is the brief presentation
of the college:

Here is the same thing run through google translate, which gives the
usual bizarre and in places inaccurate translation, but you get the
idea:

And as an interesting note, Jerome will be starting latin in September.
