Saint-Cyr School Complex

What Saint-Cyr School Complex does

Saint-Cyr School Complex (Ensemble Scolaire Saint-Cyr) is a private Catholic educational institution operating under contract with the French state and the diocesan tutelage of the Diocese of Bourges, headquartered in Issoudun in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Formed in 2020 through the consolidation of Ecole Notre-Dame Saint-Cyr, Collège and Lycée Saint-Cyr Sainte-Julitte, Lycée Professionnel Saint-Cyr, and Ecole Sainte-Marie Saint-Cyr in Vatan, the complex delivers a continuous educational parcours from maternelle (age 2) through terminale, serving approximately 200 primary students across 9 classes, 200 middle school students across 8 classes, and additional high school cohorts across both general and vocational (Bac Pro Commerce and Bac Pro Accueil) tracks. The institution also operates the UFA Saint-Cyr apprenticeship training unit affiliated with CFA Sainte-Croix Saint-Euverte d'Orléans and the 25-bed Internat Saint-Bernard boarding facility.

The school's product surface comprises distinct educational establishments and program lines: two nursery and primary schools (Issoudun and Vatan), a middle school, a general high school with European sections and four foreign languages, a vocational high school with a pedagogical store for Bac Pro Commerce, a reception-services (Accueil) track, and an apprenticeship arm with its own remuneration structure. Operational infrastructure includes a 2014 central kitchen producing approximately 1,000 meals daily via a SCOLAREST catering partnership, a Pronote school management platform, and a network of academic partnerships including CEGEP du Québec, Pôle supérieur IES Bourges (cordées de la réussite), and Entreprendre Pour Apprendre for mini-enterprise projects. ERASMUS+ participation and an in-house pastoral animation team round out the offering, with explicit accommodations for students with specific needs (dys, MDPH pathways, AESH support, "La Bulle d'air").

The business model is tuition-based and subscription-recurring in nature, with annual fee schedules published in convention documents available for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 academic years and financial aid available for non-taxable families. The complex is legally managed by the OGEC (Organisme de Gestion de l'Enseignement Catholique de l'Ensemble Scolaire Saint-Cyr), a 1901-law association affiliated with FNOGEC and UDO GEC, with Michel ANTOINE as President. Customer segments comprise families with children ages 2-18 in the Indre department seeking Catholic private education, young apprentices aged 16-26+ in commerce and hospitality, and boarding students from outside commuting distance; go-to-market relies on the school website (ecolesaintcyr.fr) with enrollment forms per level, complemented by Facebook and Instagram organic channels. No revenue, funding, or financial performance data is publicly disclosed.
