Weekly Letter from Jean-Yves - The Good News Keeps Coming
As promised in last week’s letter, I’d like to share the high school placements for our 19 8th Grade students today. This year’s results are truly exceptional and reflect not only the students’ hard work and dedication, along with that of their teachers, but also the commitment of their families. A stressful few months are coming to an end, and now the only thing left for each student to do is choose the school that fits them best.
Weekly Letter from Jean-Yves - The Path We Take
February Break was an opportunity for me to hit pause on my regular routine and take some time to think. In moments like this, I like to retrace the path I’ve taken and the decisions I’ve made since I took over as head of The École in 2020. It helps, as I prepare for the 2026-2027 school year, ensure that the steps I take now are a logical continuation of what has gone before and are taking us in the right direction. Retracing that path, telling that story, is also a reminder that everything we hope to put in place ultimately takes shape through our colleagues.

Big News from Jean-Yves, Laurence & Philippe
We could not let you go without one final “Weekly Letter from Jean Yves.” This one will be even more special and will end this amazing year with a bang. We are excited to write to you today to share some major news about the development of our school. Upon retiring four years ago, Yves Rivaud, the co-founder of The École, correctly identified that securing a long-term lease for our Elementary and Middle School building, as we had done for the Maternelle building, represented one of the most pressing challenges to come.
