Struggling for Finances: The Clept in Grenoble, a refuge for dissociated students, expresses concerns about their future
In the heart of Grenoble, the Elite College-Lyceum for All (Clept) has been offering a helping hand to students like Giovani for over a quarter of a century. This unique educational institution specialises in supporting those who have struggled in traditional school systems, providing a second chance for success.
Giovani, a foster child who dropped out of school in the third grade, is one such student. After years of struggle, Giovani found himself at a crossroads, battling depression and feeling disconnected from the educational system. That was until he found Clept.
The Elite College-Lyceum for All welcomed Giovani with open arms, listening to his story, and offering a supportive environment that helped him regain his faith in adults. The institution's approach, which focuses on personalised support, flexible scheduling, career counselling, mentorship programmes, and academic support services, seemed to be just what Giovani needed.
With the support of Clept, Giovani's self-worth and sense of capability soared. He felt capable, not just academically, but also in his ability to overcome the challenges life had thrown his way. This newfound confidence propelled him to resume his education and, later, obtain a CAP in serving, by default.
Giovani's aspirations are now set on studying law. If all goes well, next year he will take his French baccalaureate, a significant milestone in his journey towards a brighter future.
Clept's influence on Giovani's life has been profound. Not only has it helped him restore his faith in adults, but it has also been instrumental in Giovani's decision to resume his education. For Giovani, Clept has been a beacon of hope, a place where he feels valued and supported.
As Clept continues to welcome approximately a hundred dropouts each year, it serves as a testament to its effectiveness in helping students like Giovani find success. The institution's commitment to supporting young people who have faced challenges in traditional school systems is truly making a difference in the lives of many.
At Clept, Giovani discovered a supportive environment tailored to his needs, empowering him to regain his confidence and resume his education. The personalized support, flexible scheduling, career counselling, mentorship programs, and academic services provided by the institution fostered Giovani's personal growth and learning, transforming his life.
