History

Summarize
Perspective

Founded in 1804 by Father Claude Liautard, the Collège has both traditional buildings and modern constructions. Under contract with the French government, it offers curricula identical to those of public education, also offering religious education on specific days - originally Wednesdays, but now, since the Jules Ferry Laws of 1882, on Saturdays. In 1822, its formal name was declared, after the Polish King Stanisław Leszczyński, the great-grandfather of the King of France Louis XVIII, whose second forename was "Stanislas".[5]

Since 1903 Collège has been the property of a S.A. corporation founded by former alumni.

Private education in France was indirectly affected by the strong anti-clerical movement that inspired French politicians throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, beginning with the Concordat of 1801. As a result, the Collège almost disappeared but ultimately was kept open by the efforts of former alumni. Even today, it remains isolated from Paris' foremost public Lycées, although Stanislas' "Classes Préparatoires" ultimately leads its students to the same Grandes Écoles as its rivals.

Originally a school for boys only, it became coeducational in 1992 through the absorption of the Institut Notre-Dame-des-Champs (also known as Nazareth).[6] Parents are offered a choice between mixed or gender-segregated classes for the first four years of secondary school (usually between 11-12 to 14-15 years old).[7][8]
