I'm at school! So I will describe the one where I am! It calls "Jean Macé". That's a high school where I study lots of subjects: English, Spanish, mathematics (9 hours a week :-(. ), physical, chemistry, biology, geology, philosophy, history, geography... and I've chosen two others subjects: the european section (just two hours a week), and Chinese (that I learn without teacher but thanks to Melinda T., Wuzhe, Sam (livemocha) and a sport teacher who lived few years in China. They permit me to improve my language.) I will be graduate this year (I hope), after the exams on June...Thank you!

    I'm at in school! So I will describe my current school the one where I am! It's called "Jean Macé". That's a high school where I study lots of subjects: English, Spanish, mathematics (9 hours a week :-(. ), physicsal, chemistry, biology, geology, philosophy, history,  geography... and I've chosen two others subjects: the European section (just two hours a week), and Chinese (that which I learn without teacher but thanks to Melinda T., Wuzhe, Sam (Livemocha) and a sports teacher who lived few years in China for a few years. They allow/enable permit me to improve my language.) I will be graduating this year (I hope), after the exams in June...  Thank you! 

    in school = your profession, your status; at school = your location. You clarified that you're in fact talking about your current school, not "your last school" as stated in the instructions.

    it's called...", not "it calls..."   (les gens l'appeler, mais le lycée ne fait pas appel !)

    physical = adjectif; physics = nom de sujet 

    I've chosen two others subjects... It's correct, but it'd be more natural to say: I have two additional electives. In the context of schools, one has mandatory and elective courses/classes. 

    allow/enable = makes it possible for you to...; "permit" conveys literally having the authority to grant you the rights  

    I will be graduating... French speakers always have trouble with all sorts of continuous tenses, as you don't have such a thing.  

    in June, in 2009, on June 1...  

    Very well done! Ce fut un plaisir de corriger, comme d'habitude.  :)
