The school governing body (SGB)

The School Governing Body, chaired by the Principal, is the institution’s main governing body, responsible for both primary and secondary education. In schools operating under agreement with the AEFE, it is consulted on the school’s strategic directions, particularly regarding educational and pedagogical matters.

They are responsible for adopting or weighing in on decisions relating to:

• The school’s strategic plan, based on input from the Primary School Council and the Pedagogical
  Council.
• The school’s internal regulations, after consultation with various bodies (Primary School Council, Pedagogical Council, and the General Assembly of student representatives).
• The school calendar and organization of school timetable.
• The staff professional development plan, based on recommendations from the training team.
• The schedule for annual projects and events
• The annual action plan against all forms of violence, discrimination, and harassment.
• The annual action plan for education on sustainable development, health, and citizenship
• Staffing plan

The school board is composed of an equal number of representatives from:

• The administration

Elected parent representatives serve as your voice, contribute to improving conditions within the school, and collaborate with the school’s management.

The Middle School Council (CVC) & The High School Council (CVL)

Commitment and citizenship in the AEFE network

Within the AEFE network, the CVC and CVL play an important role in teaching students about citizenship and the values of the French Republic. They allow students to take an active part in the democratic life of the school, from everyday school life to the School Council, and even at the academic level.

The CVL (High School Student Council) and the CVC (Middle School Student Council) provide spaces for dialogue and exchange among students and with members of the school community. They give students a voice to propose ideas, launch new projects, improve school operations, and contribute to a positive, supportive environment for all learners.
