Lycée Sainte thérèse

What Lycée Sainte thérèse does

Collège Sainte-Thérèse is a private Catholic middle school (collège) operating under a contrat d'association with the French State via the Rectorat de Guyane and under the Diocesan Tutelle of the Diocese of Guyane. It is managed by OGEC (Organisme de Gestion de l'Enseignement Catholique), a French law-1901 non-profit association, and serves approximately 491 students across three sites in French Guiana: the main campus in Rémire-Montjoly (17 classes, 6ème to 3ème), the Saint-Pierre annex in Matoury (9 classes), and a literacy/middle-school annex in Saint-Laurent du Maroni (3 classes). The school delivers the standard French national curriculum (préparation au Brevet des Collèges, DNB), supplemented by Catholic pastoral care, language options (English European Section, Spanish, Latin, Portuguese initiation, Chinese), extracurricular clubs (theatre, chess, UNSS sports), and international linguistic trips (Dominorican Republic, Ireland); it reported a 100% DNB pass rate in 2013.

The school's technology layer is conventional educational ICT rather than a proprietary platform: a fiber optic backbone and campus-wide WiFi installed at Montjoly in January 2012, the internal Grrrr room/equipment reservation system, the GISCO student-competency assessment platform, and the SCOLINFO parent portal for grades and communication. A dedicated IT manager and webmaster maintain these systems. The business model is a non-profit tuition + state-subsidy hybrid — families pay tuition and demi-pension (cantine) fees through the school's accounting office, while teacher salaries are funded by the French State under the contrat d'association. Tuition and cantine fee schedules are not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led via direct parent outreach, the APEL parent association, the school's website, and the Catholic diocesan network; there is no online enrollment or distance-learning channel. The institution does not have external equity investors, has no funding rounds, and is governed by OGEC alongside APEL parent representation.
