The CIO is opened to public use but gives priority to teens attending school and to their families. This center of information favors individualized advising, but it also puts documentation at the disposal of the educational teams or of the pupils, it coordinates exchanges between the partners of the education system, parents, teens, local decision-makers and account executives.

The CIO has:

• A documentation resource about courses and careers,
• An self-documentation service for anyone to consult documents according to their interests and level of ability.

The director of the CIO ( Mme Diaz), the psychologist career advisers, and the administration staff assume for the reception.

Opening hours:

• During the term time from Monday to Thursday: 8.30 am to 12 pm and 1.30 to 5.30pm
