What KeepSchool does

KeepSchool (legal entity: KeepSchool Formation Professionnelle) is a French professional training organization founded in 2009 and headquartered at 40 Rue du Louvre, Paris, with administrative operations in Rodez. The company delivers personalized, one-on-one and small-group training across six core categories — foreign languages (11 languages), management, office software, personal development, graphics and digital skills, and French as a foreign language — supplemented by three specialized programs: the Cognia-accredited Double Diploma (French Bac + US High School Diploma, delivered online with Hudson Global Scholars), overseas language immersion (Nacel partnership across 8+ countries), and the 'Je pars de zéro' beginner range. Technology is built around a curated catalog of 10+ third-party e-learning platforms (MosaLingua, Global Exam, ENI MEDIAplus, Orthodidacte, WEFIT, Globe Speaker, PIX, etc.) selected per learner via a proprietary 'Qui suis Jeu' personality-assessment method, with delivery available at home, in the workplace, or by video conference.

KeepSchool generates revenue through four streams: B2C professional training funded via CPF (Mon Compte Formation), direct payment, or France Travail; B2B/enterprise training delivered through professional training agreements with OPCO billing; Double Diploma enrollment fees for the dual-diploma program; and language-immersion program fees billed separately for tuition, accommodation, and travel. Pricing is quote-based, expressed in euros and VAT-exempt under article 261-4-4°a of the CGI, with quotes valid for 2 months. Go-to-market combines an inside-sales motion (phone 09 63 56 60 90, Calendly, email), a product-led growth motion (extensive category-based website catalog with pricing simulators), and a B2B enterprise field-sales motion (custom proposals and Convention de Formation Professionnelle contracts).

The company is a subsidiary of the Go&Live group, a diversified education conglomerate that also includes Nacel, Club Langues & Civilisations, Sports Elite Jeunes, American Village, and Sans Frontières. KeepSchool has held Qualiopi certification since November 2020 (surveillance audit November 2022, re-initial audit October 2024), holds 111 verified Google reviews (Trustindex), and reported 758 trainees trained, 15,739 hours delivered, 98% satisfaction, and 99% attendance in 2025. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, patents, or publicly disclosed revenue figures were identified.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Babbel: Babbel is a leading consumer language-learning app offering self-serve subscriptions across many of the same languages KeepSchool teaches. It is a partial substitute for the self-study component of KeepSchool's offering and competes for the entry-level language learner.
• OpenClassrooms: OpenClassrooms is a French online education platform offering mentored, certification-bearing programs in tech and management. It overlaps with KeepSchool on CPF-funded adult upskilling and IT/management content, but competes primarily with a digital, low-touch delivery model.

Direct peers

• Berlitz France: Berlitz is a global language training brand with strong French presence, offering instructor-led language courses to individuals and corporations. It is comparable to KeepSchool on delivery model (in-person and virtual language tutoring) and customer base (CPF/OPCO-funded professionals).
• Cegos: Cegos is a leading French corporate training and professional development provider with a similar mix of management, soft-skills, and language programs delivered across France. Like KeepSchool, it sells to both CPF-funded individuals and OPCO-funded enterprises and competes for the same French professional training wallet.
• CNFCE: CNFCE is a French continuing education organization offering customized professional training (languages, IT, soft skills, management) to individuals and companies. It mirrors KeepSchool's catalog breadth, Qualiopi-based funding access, and France-wide delivery model.
• Wall Street English: Wall Street English is a major adult English-language training franchise operating in France with in-center and instructor-led delivery, overlapping directly with KeepSchool's English-language and TOEIC preparation offerings. Both monetize French adult learners via CPF financing and similar certification outcomes.
• ABC Formation Continue: ABC Formation Continue is a French Qualiopi-certified professional training provider delivering personalized languages, IT, and management courses to individuals and enterprises. It competes head-to-head with KeepSchool for CPF/OPCO funded learners and B2B training contracts in France.

Others

• Global Exam: Global Exam is a French-language certification-prep e-learning platform (TOEIC, IELTS, TOEFL, etc.) that KeepSchool itself integrates into its curriculum. It is a partner and partial substitute for KeepSchool's instructor-led exam-prep services, and exemplifies the digital alternatives encroaching on the category.

Broad incumbents

• Rosetta Stone: Rosetta Stone is a long-established language-learning platform providing self-paced courses across many languages. It is comparable to KeepSchool on language-learning content but competes via a digital, low-touch model rather than personalized instructor delivery.
• EF Education First: EF Education First is a global language education incumbent with strong French brand and overseas immersion programs. It competes with KeepSchool on adult language training, study-abroad immersion, and international certification prep, though it operates at far greater scale and geographic breadth.
