Succeeding at school without giving up on your sporting passion

In the traditional school system, it is difficult—if not impossible—to balance high-level sports with successful secondary studies.

Val Saint André School offers young athletes regular and intensive sports practice within a school framework adapted to their needs: adjusted schedules, individualized monitoring, and maintained academic standards.

  • Open from primary to high school (traditional & international sections)
  • Girls and boys, all advanced levels
  • 8 hours of training per week, or 2 afternoons a week.
  • Schedules adjusted at the request of federations
