From the principal
“Our school, located on a beautiful green campus, beyond its educational dynamism, offers a pleasant learning environment in which each and every person can find what they need to truly self-actualise. A student enrolled at the Lycée Jules Verne supports our values and orientations but also contributes to the general dynamism of the school for the benefit of each and every person.”
