It had to be postponed several times because of the Covid-19.
At the end of March, the inauguration of the works carried out at the international high school from Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines) finally took place.
Reconstruction and extension of the site
This represented the final touch to a vast project of reconstruction and extension initiated by the Ile-de-France region and the Department des Yvelines in order to improve living and teaching conditions.
The cost of this work amounts to 67 M €, of which 28.7 M € is provided by the Department and the balance by the Region.
Launched in the summer of 2017, they notably enabled the construction of a kindergarten over 700 m2eight company accommodation opposite the establishment at rue du Fer-à-Cheval, a gymnasium called Philippe-Pivert, in tribute to a former deputy mayor who died on Saturday August 20, 2016 at the age 68 years old.
A sports field and 70 parking spaces have also been created near this last tool of 2,300 m2.
The construction of a half board
The project also enabled the renovation and expansion of the secondary school day school (6,000 m²), the restructuring of the Agora building (4,000 m²), the rehabilitation of the primary school (3,500 m²), the construction of a half-board (2,200 m2) to best accommodate the 2,000 half-boarders and to make the site fully accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Offering 14 international sections and welcoming pupils from kindergarten to terminale, this high school is a key element of the education provided in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, as the mayor of the town, Arnaud Péricard, reminds us.
“This place marked and still marks Saint-Germain-en-Laye”
“As a former high school student, I can say that this place left its mark on Saint-Germain-en-Laye and still does today. It is – with 14 international sections and 53 nationalities – a fine example of living together and multiculturalism. It is also essential to the success of the educational axis of our policy. The pedagogical innovation of the school, the quality of the renovated facilities promote the success of the students, who are the leaders of tomorrow. It is crucial to support them from primary to higher education, to create a strong ecosystem, capable of generating bridges between students, teachers, companies and citizens. This is our project and I am proud to support it with the municipal team. »
Created in 1952 by NATO for the children of officers and non-commissioned officers, the site has just celebrated its 70th anniversary.
