JANSON’S HISTORY
Alexandre Emmanuel Francois Janson de Sailly was born on 17th June 1785 in Paris. His father, a rich merchant, left him a colossal legacy. After his law studies, he married Marie Berryer but decided to disinherit her because of extramarital relations and gave all of his fortune (more than 2,600,000 gold francs) to the State with the request to build a boys-­‐only school. In 1881 a 33,000 square-­‐meter building was bought on “rue de la Pompe”. After its opening in 1884 the number of students grew rapidly and reached 2,000 students less than fifteen years later thanks to its reputation. Janson also endured WW1 : indeed, because many teachers were called to serve on the front lines, the school ran over capacity. That is why at the beginning of the year 1915 one of the buildings was transformed into a military hospital. Pupils and teachers were confronted, in the same way as doctors and nurses, to the horrors of suffering soldiers. Teachers and pupils made many sacrifices during that period and a memorial was built in honor of the 764 Jansonian names who gave their lives to France. As WW2 broke out, Janson played a particular role again as the school was a real nest of spies. Members of the French Resistance, as well as collaborationists, were among the students : On November 11th, 1940 some of them went to the Arc de Triomphe to celebrate France’s victory over the Germans during WW1 as a provocation to the German soldiers occupying Paris at the time. Towards the end of the war hundreds of students joined the FFL (French Free Forces) and became the 2nd “Shock Battalion” for the memory of those who were deported during the war. A war memorial for that reason is dedicated to all of these brave and remarkable men in the most magnificent yard of Janson. Janson’s stars
Famous people are among Janson’s former students : Valery Giscard d’Estaing, the French president between 1974 and 1981, Lionel Jospin, a former Prime Minister , businessmen like Arnaud Lagardère or Martin Bouygues. French poet Stéphane Mallarmé was a teacher at Janson, and four former pupils received a Nobel Prize. During the twentieth century, Janson saw among its students the actor Jean Gabin and the philosopher Claude Levy-­‐Strauss. 2

JANSON'S MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL
STUDY PATHS IN THE COLLEGE
The college (Middle School) of Janson de Sailly welcomes over 950 pupils distributed in 32 classes of 4 levels with a large diversity of optional courses and languages : • Eight 6th grade classes with a bilingual class with German and English lessons, an international Chinese class and the possibility of advanced English lessons for children having already some basic knowledge. • Eight 7th grade classes with the previous options and the possibility of studying Latin. • Eight 8th grade classes. In the 8th grade, students may choose to join the German section, with extra lessons in German and History classes also taught in that language, and may begin learning Russian. • There are also tutoring groups in Mathematics and French for pupils with learning difficulties. • Eight 9th grade classes with the previous options -­‐which may be carried on through senior High School-­‐, and the addition of Ancient Greek lessons as an optional course, as well as a “vocational option” open to every student wanting to collect more concrete information about future careers. Starting from 9th grade, in the Chinese Section there are additional math classes taught in th
Chinese all the way through High School. Along with this, Janson prepares its 9 grade students for the “BEPC”, the final French national middle-­‐school exam. • For non-­‐French-­‐speaking students, there are intensive French courses spread over multiple weeks to help these students master the language quickly. Furthermore, gifted students are given specific help, support and integration courses to develop their skills. MISSIONS OF THE COLLEGE
#1 Learning efficient working methods #2 Dealing with failure individually #3 Supporting pupils with learning problems, especially in French and Math. STUDY PATHS IN THE LYCEE
The lycée has three grade levels: Seconde (10th grade), Première (11th grade) and Terminale (12th grade.) The Seconde offers a general course: but starting from Première, there are 4 different “streams” known as “séries” in French: • 6 Science classes (commonly named S) • 3 Economics and Social Sciences classes (ES) • 1 Literature & Humanities class (L) • 1 STI2D class (Industrial Science and Technology and Sustainable Development). Janson’s results at the baccalauréat exam are outstanding (roughly a 95% success rate every year, while the national average is 80%) and a large number of Janson High School pupils gain admission to the most prestigious paths of studies, like the “preparatory classes”, otherwise known as les CPGE (Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles) MISSIONS OF THE LYCEE JANSON DE SAILLY
Mission #1 • enhance academic success. • Diversify the range of optional subjects offered in Seconde. • Readjust the ES and L and strengthen mathematics in the ES section. Mission #2 • increase attractiveness of science sections • Offer scientific optional subjects, called “Learning to explore” • Provide engineering science education in the S section. • Encourage girls to opt for a science section Mission #3 • strengthen foreign language education. • Reduce the number of pupils in language classes, and use multimedia. • Provide excellent language education with the AbiBac and the European sections (which are advanced German classes) and the Chinese section (intended for pupils with good Chinese skills.) 4
CPGE CLASSES
The CPGE system is very specific and currently exists mostly in France. Students apply in the middle of their senior year by giving their marks and comments from their teachers. Afterwards, they are dispatched to different CPGE schools in which they intensively work for two or three years. Then, they take numerous competitive examinations for admission to different engineering or business schools or to the prestigious Ecoles Normales Supérieures (ENS). Having a preparation in a CPGE School is an extremely enriching experience that enables students to reach a high level of knowledge in various fields: science, literature and economy… Mission statement for CPGE classes at Janson de Sailly: 1st : keep track of students’ progress • the main goal is to get more students through second year of CPGE classes: about 90%; • open another PSI* (the star is added to point out that only the best students get into these classes) in order to balance the CPGE system at Janson; • offer more opening for literature and humanities sections. 2nd: Open up to international students and partnerships
• welcome more foreign students at CPGE-­‐level, especially from our education partner countries (China, Korea, Lebanon, Morocco, Singapore, Tunisia and Taiwan, among others); • provide opportunities to learn more foreign languages thanks to a system of numerous CPGE Schools working together. 3rd: Open up to a wide range of social backgrounds
• provide more places in the school’s dormitory for more scholarship-­‐holders or students from disadvantaged backgrounds; • develop partnerships with suburban Educational Priority Areas in order to make it easier for deserving students to gain admission to our school; • extend this system to students just out of 9th grade.

SPECIFIC PROGRAMS
Internat d’excellence, cordée de la réussite
L’Internat d’excellence (Boarding School Accommodation for Academic Excellence) is a program to promote excellence by p roviding students with the opportunity to live and study at school. Les cordées de la réussite (Roped Together for Success) are part of a general project created recently by the French National Education Ministry. In this program, the government wants to link schools which are in Education Priority Areas to other schools to give a chance to deserving students. In this way, the economic problems won’t be a barrier for learning anymore. The difference between les cordées de la réussite and the internat d’excellence is that the former is focused on college studies, while the latter concerns the whole education system. And these programs have been available at Janson de Sailly since 2010. What are the advantages of these programs? The students have the advantage of being supported by a tutor who will give them extra classes 5 d ays a week or whenever necessary. They also have access to new technological devices, sporting facilities and a room in the school dormitory. Gifted Students :
Keen to use the full potential of its students, Janson de Sailly was the first school in the Paris académie (regional educational authority) to create, in 2004, a specific program (called “DIEP”) in order to help gifted students. The main goal of this project is to include gifted students in ‘regular’ education so that they are not left by the wayside, and to provide them with support and assistance, keeping track of their progress. Should they have problems adjusting to their new school environment or should they feel bad, a room is specifically reserved for them, where they can find peace and somebody to talk to. They will also find there other gifted students, with whom they can spend time and play, far from the hustle and bustle of the playground. Filière franco-allemande (Franco-German Section):
German has traditionally been one of the main foreign languages at Janson. Since 1850 there has been a French-­‐
German section. Bilingual Section: In this Section, students begin to learn two languages (English and German) at the same time in 6th grade, and have four hours of each language. European Section: In the 8th and 9th grades, students can choose to reinforce their study of German with two more hours. They may go on to consolidate their language skills in the “Lycée”. This optional subject gives five hours of study of German history. In the “Baccalauréat”, there is an optional oral exam about a subject of German history/geography. Abibac Section: In this section, students are trained to succeed at the French “Baccalauréat” and the German “Abitur”. Throughout their studies in the “Lycée”, Students have six hours of German language and five hours of history and geography. In the “Baccalauréat” exam, two tests are taken in German. This optional section opens the doors of Bilingual University education. Filière franco-chinoise (Franco-Chinese Section):
Chinese has been taught at Janson since 1997 at CPGE level. Today more than 200 students learn Chinese. There has been an oriental section since 2007 and an international section since 2010. In this class, there are at least 5 hours of Chinese and another lesson in Chinese. Janson has become a Franco–Asian hub for Chinese language classes in Paris. 6
HOUSING IN PARIS
Janson’s dormitory (“internat”)
Janson has provided mixed boarding for students since September 2012. Students who wish to study at Lycée Janson de Sailly can live in the school’s dormitory. There are 170 beds, or about 80 places for first-­‐year students. To sign up for the dormitory, students must first have a place in a class at Janson de Sailly. Then other criteria are considered: those who receive a grant and/or are minors, and/or are far from home have priority. There are numerous advantages to live in the school’s dormitory: the school is very near, so no time is wasted in the subway. Moreover, students can work in groups in some classrooms and in the Marcel Sire school library after class. Finally, the members of the school’s dormitory form a community, where people live in a friendly atmosphere. Prices (example for 2013/2014): 2,480€ for 1st-­‐year students; 2nd-­‐year students may be granted a price reduction based on their attendance. Students can take the three meals of the day, except on the weekends (students who choose to stay in the school’s dormitory during the week-­‐
end have to eat outside, for example at the Jean-­‐
Zay residence hall). Jean Zay residence hall
Another solution is Jean Zay, a public boarding school located in the 16th district too, 2 km away from Janson. It welcomes students who are in CPGE in Paris, and among them 160 students from Janson. The dormitory and the refectory are open on week-­‐ends. It is reserved for students who are far from home and foreign students, especially under 18 years of age. Students who wish to get a room there have to apply from the website : http://www.lycee-­‐etat-­‐jean-­‐zay.fr/ This structure offers great working conditions as there are working rooms, and a wide range of activities. Students may also sign up for free private lessons if necessary. Half-Board / Lunch at school
More than 350 students from CPGE classes are “half-­‐boarders”, and are known as „3/4’s“. This describes students who found a place to live in the neighbourhood of Janson and who are taking their lunches at school. This solution helps in particular with daily-­‐life. For example, they don’t have to do any cooking or shopping. It is very helpful if they have a flat in Paris or are living in a residence hall. Students who choose to become ‘half-­‐boarders’ must be aware that living in Paris is still expensive, especially in the Janson area. For this an adviser can help them to find a room next to the school and can guide them throughout the year. 7

The CVL, or the Board of High School Life
Led by both the principal and an elected Jansonian student, the CVL is composed of 20 members: one half represented by parents, administrators and the staff; the other half by students. Essential to life at Janson de Sailly, this association is active and dynamic. Here are some of the actions that were recently undertaken: -­‐ organizing a charity that managed to raise 6,000 euros for Haiti in order to help to rebuild what was destroyed by the earthquake of 2010; -­‐ lending a hand to many non-­‐governmental organizations such as Afghanistan Demain (Afghanistan Tomorrow) to help promote education in Kabul; -­‐ developing artistic and cultural actions in the school like organizing the concerts of the Symphonic Orchestra of Janson, one of which was broadcast on Radio France, one of the most popular radio stations in the country; -­‐ helping students in difficulty with their studies; -­‐ scheduling debates about life in Janson and what could be done to improve it. The ASEJ, The Socio- educational Association of Janson:
Depending on the generous financial contributions of the students’ families, this association consists in a student association that organizes events for students only, like the traditional football tournament and creates socio-­‐educational clubs dedicated for example to music or even photography. The AMCJS, the Association for Music and Culture at Janson de
Sailly:
In connection with the very prestigious conservatory of Paris, the AMCJS aims at building cultural and pedagogical projects that potentially gather both Janson students and staff, like for instance organizing diversified “concert-­‐debates” from baroque music to more modern music. In 2012, in partnership with Europa Voce Janson’s orchestra played Messiah by Heandel. Contact: Mr Jonathan. Email: [email protected] Catholic and Protestant Chaplaincies:
Two chaplaincies, one catholic and one Prostestant, exist next to Janson. Everyone is welcome in either of them. The Catholic one organizes meetings for each section of the School every week. There is also a Mass every Friday followed by a friendly meal. More than 300 students take part in those activities. Some religious trips are also organized (Lourdes, Roma, Lisieux,…). The Protestant one organizes a dinner evening, once a month. No matter your religion, you can take part in the dinner and the discussions organized.
