OGEC Notre Dame de Bonsecours - La Malgrange

What OGEC Notre Dame de Bonsecours - La Malgrange does

OGEC Notre Dame de Bonsecours - La Malgrange is a nonprofit private Catholic educational institution under contract with the French State, founded in 1836 as the Pensionnat Saint Pierre by Chanoine Mirguet and relocated in 1839 to the Château de La Malgrange property in Jarville-la-Malgrange, at the gates of Nancy in Meurthe-et-Moselle. The institution operates a unified K-12 educational pathway on a single 12-hectare campus, comprising the École Notre-Dame de Bonsecours (maternelle and primaire, opened on the main site in 2017), the Collège La Malgrange, and the Lycée La Malgrange, serving over 1,700 students across more than 60 classes (3 maternelle, 7 primaire, 32 collège, 18 lycée). The school offers supervised study, catering via Sodexo, extracurricular sports (UGSEL), cultural activities (Festival BD, theater, choir, orchestra, the Le Malgrangien student newspaper), international language trips, and pastoral formation, with a Lycée 4.0 device program for 2nde students.

The business model is membership- and tuition-based within the French Catholic education system. The school is governed by OGEC de la Malgrange, a loi 1901 association responsible for non-teaching staff and financial operations, while property is held by the Association La Malgrange (founded 1920). Family tuition is the primary revenue source, supplemented by the state forfait externat under the 1966 association contract and ancillary services (catering, supervised study, trips). Pricing for academic year 2026-2027 is communicated via downloadable PDF, with annual billing and tiered registration deadlines by level. The proprietary technology footprint is narrow: the school relies on the third-party EcoleDirecte platform for grades, schedules, communications, and pre-inscriptions, and on Sodexo's SoHappy mobile app for canteen menus, which since September 2024 includes the CLEA chatbot for dietary guidance. The boarding school (internat) is scheduled to permanently close on August 31, 2026, representing a planned contraction of the residential product line.
