📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Saint-Louis La Paix school group is composed of the Saint-Louis college, the general and technological high school, and the Notre Dame de La Paix high school (vocational high school and higher education center). The Lycée Saint-Louis, is a general and technological education establishment of 1,066 students preparing for scientific, literary, economic and social baccalaureates, technological baccalaureates in management and management sciences and technologies, health sciences and technologies and social, science and laboratory technology. The goal of the school project is to support students from bac-3 to bac + 3 to success and to prepare for good social and professional integration by promoting: the acquisition and development of key skills for education and training, the well-being and health of young people and adults, international openness and culture and the construction of a personal orientation project. The high school is involved in the “Hissez Haut!” process, made up of 21 partners supporting the educational ambition of young people (colleges, high schools, universities, orientation center, youth information office). The St Louis high-school is composed of a team of 85 teachers and 50 administrative staff (OGEC). The management team has 7 members: The director, 4 educational managers, a principal educational advisor, a pastoral animator and a manager in charge of communication, international projects and educational innovation. He is in charge of the coordination of collective exchanges, individual mobility and trips organized by the school and is involved in the Cordées de la réussite project. He is, in collaboration with the principal education adviser, an interlocutor and supervises the activities of the ESC. The volunteer will thus be able to develop projects linked to the international aspect of our school project (reception and cultural activities for foreign students) and also at the level of cultural, artistic and sporting activities in high school life. The Lycée Notre Dame de La Paix high school, offers vocational training courses, from CAP to Professional Baccalaureate. Students can continue their studies up to BAC + 2 thanks to the Higher Education Center which has six BTS (advanced diploma equivalent). The school is made up of a team of 75 teachers, and accommodates 700 students. The work on autonomy, international opening and the development of social skills aim to give students from the start of vocational high school the learning keys to build their future. These priority areas allow them to consolidate an educational ambition with the objective of access for all to higher education. https://saintlouis-lapaix.com
