The school takes part in projects around adaptive sports, where students in younger grades try activities like climbing adapted for all abilities. These sessions are part of regular physical education classes and give students a direct experience of inclusion in sport.
The school is easy to reach by bus and is in a central part of Aurillac, close to other facilities. The entrance is accessible for wheelchair users, with ramps and designated parking spaces right outside.
In 2025, students from Munich traveled to Aurillac to discover rugby together and share their everyday lives with local students. Exchange programs of this kind are not common at middle schools of this size.
