ORGANISATION
The STAV Baccalaureate is a methodological, scientific, technological and humane educational program which seeks to answer issues related to the natural world: this involves discovering the animal and botanical worlds, understanding the management of organic elements in terms of science, technology, economy and also philosophy.
To satisfy these objectives, the following 2 major work axes will be focused on:
Acquiring a solid general educational foundation in preparation for higher education.
Over the two years, studies will be concentrated on these 4 main subjects:
- Marine biology, marine species and their relation as natural resources for mankind.
- Livestock management: equine
- Livestock production management: (Cattle, goats)
- Crop production management: grapevines, fruit orchards, horticultural production, cereal crop production
