ECAM Lyon

Humanist Values are at the heart of the School’s teaching project

ECAM Lyon is based on Lasallian traditions which put the students at the heart of the educational methodology: as well as acquiring scientific skills, students are encouraged to reflect, to learn to get to know themselves and to excel; they learn to become aware of the impact of their actions and decisions. The school’s pedagogical approach is loyal to the humanist values on which it is founded and is based on accompanying the students, on the principles of work and merit, on encouraging curiosity and on respect and solidarity.

Cooperative Education

Thanks to the very reasonably sized year groups and teaching methods that favour small group tuition, ECAM Lyon is able to provide the best possible support for each student in the building and success of their personal and professional project. ECAM Lyon therefore offers assistance such as academic support and French lessons for foreign students. Support is also provided through the traditional mentor programme where each student is able to benefit from the advice and guidance of an ECAM graduate. Learn more about Student Support.
