This is the organization of the "double project" The basic principle is to offer students a school time focused mainly on the mornings and to free up the afternoons for training. Thus, most of the lessons take place in the morning, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. With the exception of high school students; those in the second or first year have one afternoon of lessons, and those who have joined the final year have two afternoons of schooling. In order to comply with the National Education programs, the school year begins earlier and ends later than in most other establishments. School times are also modulated according to the training cycles. Thus, during the first 15 days of the start of the school year, since the students have not resumed training, they follow a normal schooling. Similarly, as important exams approach, the emphasis is once again placed on studies. All students attend classes, for 4 to 5 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. Finally, the period from January to June is used for readjustments, in order to define schedules that respect the scheduled hours for each subject taught.

The sports taught and practiced are as follows: Football, fencing, rugby, athletics, canoeing, cycling, handball, golf, sailing, weightlifting, judo, tennis, triathlon, surfing, water skiing, motorcycling.
