What LYCEE GENERAL ET TECHNO SAINT EXUPERY does

Lycée Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is a public general and technological secondary school located in La Rochelle, Charente-Maritime, in France's Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, operating under the Académie de Poitiers and the French Ministry of National Education. The institution serves students aged approximately 15-20 pursuing the general and technological Baccalauréat, two-year BTS vocational diplomas (Commerce International and Négociation et Digitalisation de la Relation Client), and CPGE preparatory classes for elite higher education. The school differentiates itself through a unique combination of seven living languages (including rare options such as Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, and Italian), European sections in English, Spanish, and German, and specialized sports sections in rugby and basketball conducted in partnership with Stade Rochelais since 2014.

The school's product surface encompasses standard academic streams, two BTS programs, a CPGE, and a portfolio of extracurriculars including a theatre-dance workshop, a radio club (Ex'cétéra) broadcasting on Radio Collège 95.9, a theatre improvisation atelier, and a Rugby Academy (Pôle Espoir). Digital infrastructure is built on standard French educational platforms: Pronote (student information system), e-SIDOC (documentation), LOL (ENT digital workspace), Moodle (LMS), and Pix (digital competency certification). The school is E3D-certified for sustainable development and participates in Erasmus+ consortia with partners in five European countries.

The entity is a publicly funded institution with no commercial revenue stream; funding flows through the French state, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Regional Council, and minor family-facing fees (cafeteria meal plans ranging from 400 to 503 EUR annually, internat at 1,396 EUR, occasional external meals at 4 EUR). Enrollment is managed through the national Affelnet platform under the Académie de Poitiers. Customer-facing engagement is supplemental and includes community events, Erasmus Days, and a student-run newspaper (L'Extra).
