Lycée Saint-Louis – Ensemble scolaire Jean-Paul II (horlogerie)

In short

The Lycée Saint-Louis belongs to the Ensemble scolaire Jean-Paul II, a Catholic school group in Bar-le-Duc, in the Meuse, with its site at 28 rue Voltaire. Besides its general lycée, the group trains apprentice watchmakers within the Campus des métiers Saint-Nicolas, the apprenticeship network of the Catholic schools of the Nancy-Toul and Verdun dioceses. The CAP in watchmaking (400 hours over one year, for applicants who already hold a level-4 diploma) teaches the assembly, servicing and repair of mechanical and quartz watches and clocks; the BMA in watchmaking (1,350 hours over two years) adds the machining of replacement parts and restoration work. Both alternate one week at the school and three weeks in a workshop.
