The contribution aims to elucidate Napoleonic reformism in education, focusing on the genesis of secondary education as the architrave of a modern education system implemented in imperial France and later extended to satellite states. The reforms, implemented between 1802 and 1811, ensured that Napoleonic France had a system of public education managed and controlled by the state, set on a secular conception that incorporated the private and ecclesiastical sectors, with a system prospectively divided into three grades: primary, secondary, and higher, in which the lyceum represented the apex of secondary education and the base of the higher segment.

Keywords : Secondary education; Lyceum; Imperial France; Napoleonic reformism.
