COLLEGE BERTHELOT

What COLLEGE BERTHELOT does

Collège Berthelot is a public French middle school (collège public) located at 28 Rue Berthelot, 72000 Le Mans, in the Sarthe department of the Pays de la Loire region. Operated under the French Ministry of National Education (Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale) via the Académie de Nantes, the school delivers the standard French national curriculum to students enrolled in the 6ème through 3ème classes (typically aged 11–15), along with supplementary programs including bilingual English/German and English/Arabic tracks (introduced 2024), a European section, and the 2025-launched "Ecoutons Berthelot!" plurilingual project developed with Université du Mans linguistics researchers that capitalizes on the fact that more than 70 languages are spoken or understood by the student body. It also runs cultural, civic, and critical-thinking initiatives — including the Permis Esprit Critique, eco-delegate programs, Cartables FM 93.3 student radio, choir and arts activities, and immersion trips (Spain, Germany) — and participates in the national Cordées de la Rêussite higher-education linkage program.

The school does not operate any proprietary technology platform; digital services are delivered through the national e-lyco ENT (Espace Numérique de Travail) infrastructure shared across French public schools. The underlying "product" is free, government-funded secondary education, with no commercial pricing model and no proprietary intellectual property. Day-to-day operations run Monday through Friday from 7h45 to 12h15 and 13h15 to 17h30, with Wednesday closure at 12h00. Leadership consists of a Principal (Monsieur Tachard-Mackey) and a Conseillère d'Orientation Psychologue (Mme Rigoulay), reporting into the Académie de Nantes.

Because Collège Berthelot is a public educational institution rather than a commercial enterprise, it has no revenue model in the conventional sense. Operating budgets are allocated through the French national education system (Académie de Nantes and Sarthe department), tuition is free, and enrollment is managed by sector under the Ministry's procedures. Marketing and outreach occur primarily through the official e-lyco website, annual portes ouvertes events, student radio (Cartables FM 93.3), and participation in local cultural events (Le Mans Sonore, Festival Les Mycéliales, Chorallèges). The school is administratively active as of June 2026.
