Lycée Gerville-Réache is a distinguished public general and technological secondary school located in Basse-Terre, the official capital and administrative centre of Guadeloupe. Situated at 37 rue Amédée Fengarol, the lycée is operated by the Académie de Guadeloupe and named after Joséphine Gerville-Réache, a pioneering female French politician born in Guadeloupe. The school serves students aged 15 to 18 in the three-year lycée cycle, offering the French Baccalauréat in general and technological tracks according to the French national curriculum. Basse-Terre, set against the backdrop of the Soufrière volcano and surrounding rainforest, provides a distinctive environment for secondary study. Lycée Gerville-Réache is one of the primary lycées serving the southern Basse-Terre region, drawing students from the capital and surrounding communities. The school's curriculum covers general specialisations including mathematics, life and earth sciences, physics-chemistry, history-geography, humanities, and economics and social sciences, as well as technological tracks. The lycée maintains strong links with regional educational institutions and offers career counselling to help students transition successfully to higher education or the workforce in France, Guadeloupe, and the broader Caribbean region.
