Lycée Rodin
The Lycée Rodin is a French secondary and higher school located at 19, rue Corvisart in Paris, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. The school is named after Auguste Rodin, who was born and raised in the area. History. Originally, the "lycée" and "collège" sections were annexes of the "lycée" Montaigne, known as ""Annexe des Cordelières"" due to the convent of the Poor Clares located next door. In 1956, classes moved to prefabricated buildings and temporary installations. The current building was built in the 1960s. It resembles a bird spreading its wings. A residential tower is inside. The  History of Arts option was launched for the first time for L in 1993 and at secondary level in 1994. Facilities. "Lycée" Rodin, which also contains a college, can support around students (currently around ). It is a general "lycée", and prepares for ES, L and S. Clubs cover socio-educational needs, including for chess, cooking, English-language theatre, photography, yoga and cinema. Sports clubs for AS, "collège", and "lycée" include badminton, football, badminton, basketball, gymnastics, and climbing. The lycée Rodin has been a pilot for interdisciplinary teaching. Reforms in 2010 removed old-style deterministic teaching, but "lycée" Rodin maintains this  teaching practice in the form of "workshops". This allows all students to attend lectures on methodical readings of works of art, and for future students to better approach their specialty program (coefficient 6 of the baccalauréat). Ranking. In 2015, the "lycée" was ranked 73rd out of 109 at departemental level on quality of teaching, and 962nd at national level. The ranking was based on the level of baccalauréat results, the proportion of students who obtain a baccalauréat having spent their last two years at the establishment, and "added value" (calculated based on social origin of students, their age, and their  national diploma results). CPGE rankings. The national rankings for preparatory classes to grandes écoles (CPGE) are based on rates of admission to the grandes écoles.
