What Lycée Notre-Dame des Aydes Internat privé Enseignement catholique sous contrat does

Lycée Notre-Dame des Aydes is a private Catholic secondary school established in 1868 in Blois, Centre-Val de Loire, France, operating under contract with the French state ('enseignement catholique sous contrat'). It serves approximately 400 students from 2nde to Terminale (ages 15-18), including about 30 boarders housed in on-campus shared rooms (2-3 students per room). The school is part of the multi-site Campus Notre-Dame des Aydes – Saint Charles – Saint Vincent – Père Brottier within the national Enseignement Catholique network and is supported by the Fondation Victor Dillard.

The school delivers the French Baccalauréat general track with specialty subjects spanning Mathematics, Physics-Chemistry, SVT, History-Geopolitics, Economics (SES), Humanities-Literature-Philosophy (HLP), and Digital Sciences. It augments core academics with structured add-on programs: a Rugby Sports Section launching in 2026, the CDSG (Classe de Défense et de Sécurité Globales) interdisciplinary defense option, the Pastorale spiritual life program, Aux Arts Lycéens cultural programming with Région Centre-Val de Loire, and a competitive Sports Association (UGSEL). Technology infrastructure is limited to standard third-party platforms — primarily EcoleDirecte for school management — with no proprietary AI, ML, or platform assets.

The revenue model relies on recurring tuition fees from families combined with state funding as a contracted Catholic school; pricing is regulated under the 'sous contrat' framework and is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market approach is direct-to-consumer through open-door events, the annual Forum de l'orientation, parent association referrals (APEL), middle-school feeder partnerships, and the Catholic education network. Reported student outcomes include a 97% rate of admission to first-choice higher education institutions within one week of ParcourSup results, underscoring the school's academic guidance capability.
