- 04
Cohort integration

Our cohorts are deliberately small — between 8 and 12 — to guarantee personalized follow-up and true quality of interaction.
An annual commitment, with about 4 to 6 hours per week of structured activities. Consistency matters more than intensity.
Yes. Mentou is a private program. Fees are discussed during the interview and adapted to circumstances. Scholarships may be awarded.
