Once in the professional world, they must show an open creativity, take conceptual initiatives, adapt to all kinds of scenario.

While imparting the required knowledge, the Académie Charpentier pays particular attention to helping students develop this mind-set and become actors in an ever-evolving world.

In order to achieve this, students submit their work to a jury of teachers and professionals from the end of Year 3 onwards. The studied subjects, the researches conducted by the students are suggested based on real-life data. They are dual-purpose exercises, “rehearsals” or simulations as much as concrete situations and didactic materials. Conferences given by leading personalities in their fields are opportunities to grasp different visions of today's world, to hear the point of view on a profession, to think in groups then to write individually.

Today's students must be trained not only to individual technologies, but also to every mode of expression, to the ability to design and travel from one area to another, to quick thinking and implementation, to intellectual mobility, to a broad culture and above all to the need for constant information.
