DRAPEAU ANGLAIS
A note from the director
The Saint Yves Sacré Cœur La Salle school in Saint Brieuc is a large private school under a contract of the association with the State. We provide care and education to students coming from all social, educational, cultural, geographical, and religious backgrounds.
The school offers a wide range of sections to nearly 1,300 pupils and students: secondary school, general, technical and also vocational high school. The school has also a mixed boarding school with 350 beds.
It is also a place for exchanges and encounters open to its territory and to the world.
Out of the conviction that each young person is a unique individual, we attach great importance to establishing relationships based on dialogue, trust, and mutual respect.
The opening up to the international scene is one of the strong points of our school project. In recent years, our school has organised numerous school exchanges, at all levels, with different European countries. We have also established partnerships with schools and companies. More and more students reach an internship abroad. We also welcome foreign students to our courses or to our partner companies.
