Our Lady of Kerbertrand

What Our Lady of Kerbertrand does

Notre-Dame de Kerbertrand is a private Catholic school group operating under the tutelle des Ursulines within the réseau méricien (a network of 8 schools). Located at 154 rue de Pont-Aven in Quimperlé, Finistère, Brittany, it delivers continuous education from maternelle through lycée on a single campus, enrolling approximately 1,137 students across three integrated divisions: École (291 primary pupils), Collège (566 middle-school students, 40% drawn from local public schools), and Lycée (280 high-school students), plus an internat accommodating roughly 30 boarders, some travelling from distant regions to attend specialised sports sections. The school offers multiple baccalauréat tracks (Générale and STMG) with elective options in tennis, arts plastiques, théâtre, Latin, and an international/ERASMUS+ section. Outcomes include a 100% baccalauréat pass rate, regional and national UGSEL tennis championships, a national surfing bronze medal, and student literary prizes (Goncourt des Lycées, Les Incorruptibles). Its technology footprint is limited to a Digital Workspace (Espace Numérique de Travail) for parents and students, online enrolment forms, and standard web/social channels; no proprietary platform or AI capabilities are evident.

The school's business model is a B2C subscription model: tuition and school fees, plus boarding fees, charged annually to families. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through personalised admission meetings with level-specific directors. Revenue is supplemented indirectly by French state funding under the contrat d'association framework typical of Catholic enseignement libre schools, and the school is institutionally anchored through the Ursuline tutelle and the Direction Diocésaine de l'Enseignement Catholique du Finistère (DDEC 29). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the school's own website, Facebook, Instagram, earned media in Le Télégramme and Ouest-France, and word-of-mouth through the APEL parents' association. Customer segments are organised vertically by educational level rather than by buyer persona, and distribution is single-site with limited geographic reach beyond Finistère.
