École Massillon
("The school is not only a place of transmission of knowledge, it is also a place of communication of consciousness")
T. Michon (2012-)
The école Massillon is a private educational establishment under contract with the state with 1380 students (in 2015). The establishment is under the control of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri. It is located in the hôtel Fieubet and the Gratry Building, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris.
The establishment bears the name of Jean-Baptiste Massillon (1663-1742), a celebrated orator who gave the funeral oration for Louis XIV. There is also a rue Massillon in the same arrondissement, located on the île de la Cité.
The school
The teaching covers classes from kindergarten to High School.
The establishment is twinned with the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Germany) ; it is also a Cambridge exam centre.
The UAI code for the establishment is 0 752 920 S for the college.
International dimension
The school has a native German and a native English section. Non-native students can also follow advanced German and English language classes. The school also prepares students for language exams such as the Cambridge English Advanced (CAE) and the Deutsches Sprachdiplom 1 and 2 (DSD).
Ranking of the lycée
In 2022, the lycée was ranked 17th on the national level.[1] and 11th on the departemental level. Students obtained a 100% admission rate at the baccalauréat with 99% obtaining a mention.
History
The hôtel Fieubet[1] was built by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, between 1676 and 1681, for Gaspard Fieubet, Chancellor of Queen Marie-Thérèse, as part of the former Royal Hotel of Saint-Pol. The hotel was then frequented by Jean de La Fontaine and Madame de Sévigné. The hotel was decorated by Le Sueur and Vicotte.
From 1814 to 1857, the hotel was a sugar refinery.
In 1857, Count Pierre de Lavalette bought the hotel and with architect Jules Gros transformed it into a Baroque Italo-Spanish pastiche, doubling the size of the right wing with sculpted decoration.
At the end of 1872, rue de Turenne, some priests from the Oratory began to educate youth. However, it was only from 10 October 1877 that the école Massillon began. On 3 April 1877, abbé Nouvelle bought the hôtel Fieubet. On 10 October of the same year, the building took its first 150 students.[2]
