Ah, so you are French. So the HS is a well-known one which prides itself as incredible. I went there myself and it was a nightmare - despite being top of my class I always felt squeezed in a box. I was not enthusiastic when my son decided to go there but it turns out that the school, still being full of itself, has changed and the class was great. It obviously follows the general curriculum but it is outdated compared to what is expected from young graduates. I mentioned the math obsession (and its rigidity, honestly just reading the book makes me yawn - while analysis (calculus) is wonderful in practice), but there is also philosophy which is honestly a scam. It could be a great opportunity to help people think, but they decided to make it something everyone hates, where the marks depend on the alignment of the planets and where the very last thing that is expected is your own opinion. They want the opinion of others, in a strictly rigid structure. I love my country but the people who manage the curriculum should be fired on the spot and replaced by the ones who have gone outside the ministry to the real world. We will never be competitive otherwise.
