Providing our students with the best conditions to learn and live happily.
Parents’ Perspective
My child began secondary school in a traditional institution but wasn’t truly thriving at the time. After joining Lycée La Jonchère in 8th grade, the trust-based relationships and supportive interactions with teachers helped her regain confidence and motivation. Learning regained its purpose, and her potential fully blossomed—she now speaks fluent English! Seeing my child rediscover the joy of going to school and look forward to high school with confidence is a true gift.
An Extraordinary Team, a Unique Model
The leadership team of Lycée La Jonchère is made up of five complementary individuals from diverse backgrounds—education, business, and engineering. Each one is an expert in their field, all are close to the students, and all share a common vision: a school where learning happens differently.
What makes them stand out? They lead together. Here, there is no rigid hierarchy, but a collective intelligence that allows the school to grow alongside its students. Since its creation, their collaborative model has fostered an environment where every decision is guided by a single priority: offering the very best to the young people they support.
Alongside them is a team of exceptional teachers driven by the same values. A unique energy, a daily commitment to every student’s success—these qualities make Lycée La Jonchère a truly special place.

Lycée La Jonchère is an independent private school (hors contrat), which means it receives no subsidies from the state or local authorities. Funding comes exclusively from private contributions, ensuring that every resource is directly reinvested in teaching quality, personalized support, and student well-being.
While our curriculum follows the framework of the French National Education system, we have the freedom to choose our teaching methods and content—allowing us to provide an innovative, student-centered approach.
Many misconceptions exist about independent schools. Are they really true? Read our article debunking common myths.

In the general academic track, the following specializations are offered: Mathematics, Physics-Chemistry, Biology (SVT), Economics and Social Sciences, Digital and Computer Sciences, English Language, Literature & Culture (LLCER), and Humanities, Literature & Philosophy (HLP).
Depending on the student’s interests and goals, specializations may begin as early as 10th grade, with class hours tailored accordingly.
We also offer the STMG track starting in 10th grade, along with preparation for select modules of the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), certifying proficiency in advanced English.
How are students’ progress and achievements assessed?
Each week, a teacher meets individually with every student to review skills, progress, and behavior. Together, they identify the student’s strengths and areas for improvement, using indicators that show where they stand and what to work toward next. This individual tracking continues week after week, ensuring steady progress and personalized support.
This approach helps every student understand their learning journey and feel encouraged and guided.
Enrollment is open throughout the school year. For the next academic year, we recommend contacting us as early as January.

Fresh fruit is offered to students during morning and afternoon breaks.

Yes, it is entirely possible, and we assist families with the process. Some students complete their entire schooling with us, while others join only for middle school and later return to a public institution.
To rejoin the public system, families must contact the local DSDEN office, specifying the desired grade. The DSDEN will schedule a placement test to ensure consistency between the requested class and the student’s level. Tests generally include French, mathematics, and English for entry into 9th or 10th grade, and French and mathematics for earlier grades.
Barring special circumstances, our students meet or exceed national standards, making this process straightforward.
