An innovatiVE and collaborative education
The innovative education offered by 42 relies on peer-learning. With participatory training and with no teachers or classes, students oversee their own success and the success of their coworkers in a 100% hands-on project environment. To make progress, they must count on the strength of the group, give and receive information, and successfully alternate between helping others and being helped. This learning model relies on collective intelligence, as in the professional world, and helps develop talents, not by reproducing or memorizing the model of a reference teacher, but by searching, experimenting, and defending their ideas.
Upon entrance in 42, don’t wait for wisdom to trickle down from those who are in the know. You must be ready to seek knowledge by yourself and to meet with others to understand it before implementing and sharing its function with others.
Each campus of the network will provide students with the best computer resources to work in the best conditions, regardless of what other personal means they may have outside of the school.
Open 24 / 7
A friendly environment is provided, with pleasant and functional collaborative spaces and the most modern computer equipment.
