Lycée Ozanam

What Lycée Ozanam does

Lycée Ozanam (legally OGEC Lycée Frédéric Ozanam, operating as Groupe Frédéric Ozanam) is a private Catholic educational institution under Vincentian tutelage, governed by OGEC and operating under a contrat d'association with the French state. The institution is headquartered in Châlons-en-Champagne, France, and operates two physical sites: the Mont-Héry campus (approximately 900 students across general, technological, professional, and higher-education sections, situated on roughly 4 hectares) and the Centre site (approximately 150 students in professional sections, housed in a renovated former factory). Total enrollment is approximately 1,050 students served by 105 teachers across 54 classes. The institution was formed in 2022 through the merger of three predecessor schools — Lycée Saint-Vincent de Paul, Lycée Charles Péguy, and Lycée Saint-Joseph — and is led by Director Eric Persent.

The program portfolio spans 3ème prépa-métiers through BTS (BAC+2) and Level 6 certifications (BAC+3), including vocational CAPs (AAGA, AEPE, Electricien, IMTB), Bac Pros (ASSP, MELEC, MCV, MS, AMATA), technological baccalaureates (STMG, ST2S), general tracks, BTS programs (CI, MOS, SAM, SP3S), and partnerships with IFOCOP, IDRAC, and IHEDREA for BAC+3 certifications in HR management, commercial development, and rural law/agricultural economics. International programs include Erasmus+ (Charter 2021-2027), OFAJ Franco-German exchanges, Section Européenne, Dual Diploma (US high school diploma), and TOEIC testing. The boarding facility operates as a mixed-gender residence (one boys' floor, three girls' floors), opened to boys in 2021.

The revenue model combines sliding-scale family contributions (€743–€1,358 per year based on fiscal quotient, with sibling discounts), boarding fees (€2,870 per year), a €70 non-refundable registration fee, catering sales (€6.45 per self-service meal), and the French Taxe d'Apprentissage. Teacher salaries are largely state-subsidized under the contrat d'association. Technology infrastructure is built around the EcoleDirecte platform for school management and the "Lycée 4.0" digital-integration designation (since 2019). A new downtown Châlons-en-Champagne campus is planned for January 2026.
