St John's College - A Division of St Denis School  Established 1858
 
Why choose this School?
 
We are an historic school
With over 150 years experience, we are one of the great, ancient, private, French schools. We have an established ethos which provides outstanding education whilst building the confidence and character of our students. We have survived the test of time unlike other international schools that are still establishing themselves.
 
 
We are an innovative school
Whilst proud of our long traditions, we have invested in the most advanced technology to support our teaching programmes. Technology is fully integrated into the curriculum. Teaching groups are small and we teach by a mixture of formal lectures, workshops and tutorials designed to stretch every student academically, challenge and develop their character and build their confidence. For example, each week, every student gives a 15 minute presentation of their work in each subject they are studying.
 
 
We focus on creating Excellence
Every aspect of school life is directed towards achieving excellence.
 
We develop excellence academically and prepare students for entry into the world's leading universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Harvard, MIT.
 
We develop excellence in behaviour and maturity by close adherence to school rules and student participation in wide ranging activities which offer the opportunity for taking on responsibilities.
 
 
We work in an historic, healthy, non-urban environment  
Loches is, like the school, ancient. It has been at the centre of many historical events in France. Located in the heart of Loches, the school is surrounded by castles and other historic buildings.
 
Our students find Loches a place where they can concentrate on their studies without the distractions of urban life. This has proved very popular for students whose homes are in Paris, which is only a short train journey away.
 
 
We are a school that transforms
We have a long history of admitting students who have struggled for some reason in other schools and so have not achieved their potential. After careful discussion with parents and prospective students, we admit students to a programme that gives them the opportunity to re-start their education and achieve excellence.
