Centre Pédagogique de Malvilliers

What Centre Pédagogique de Malvilliers does

Centre Pédagogique de Malvilliers (CPM) is a Swiss foundation of public utility under private law, headquartered in Boudevilliers, Canton Neuchâtel, operating two distinct entities under a single Foundation established in 1963. The École spécialisée provides mandatory and extended schooling (up to age 18) for roughly 100 children, adolescents, and young adults with special educational needs who cannot be adequately supported in mainstream schools, organized across 7 classes-espaces and mobile pedagogical teams, with inclusive mixed schooling (Espéd spaces) embedded directly in regular schools. The Unité de formation AI (UFAI), created in 1997 and hosted at the Evologia site in Cernier, delivers AI-insurance-funded professional formation measures for approximately 40 beneficiaries with health-related work limitations, spanning early intervention, professional orientation, initial training (FPra/AFP/CFC), reclassification, reinsertion, and job coaching, with optional residential care.

CPM's technology posture is non-commercial: the institution explicitly operates without proprietary software products, APIs, or AI capabilities, relying instead on a multidisciplinary team of approximately 15 specialized teachers, socio-educators, and pedago-therapeutic specialists (speech, psychomotor, occupational therapy). Its revenue model is fully anchored in two cantonal government service contracts: one with the Office de l'enseignement spécialisé (OES) for the school and one with the Office AI of Canton Neuchâtel for the UFAI, supplemented by nominal regulated parental participation fees of CHF 11.50/day. Beneficiaries are admitted exclusively via referral from these two cantonal offices, and CPM operates a network of over 20 employer, municipal, and training partners that host internships and practical training.
