School History:
1858 : St-Joseph’s orphanage was founded in Loches by the Presentation Sisters. 1901 : St-Denis school for girls was created. 1964 : St-Denis became a mixed school. 1978 : Gérard Chatagnon became Principal. A new development programme for the school was put in place, including a wider international focus. 1984-1990 : construction of several buildings (Middle school - High school - gymnasium - boarding school with more than 200 places). In the Catholic tradition, we are called to be a caring community that trains, educates and prepares students for a life founded on respect for one another.
Through an educational relationship, both challenging and benevolent, it is our concern to empower our students spiritually, academically, socially and physically. We acknowledge the primary role of parents in education and consider their support essential.
Our objective is that all students can rely on our community and through interaction, become autonomous learners, capable of making choices for a responsible adult life.
