Espérance banlieues was born of a simple but alarming observation: an educational emergency in France's priority neighborhoods.

3 figures for this emergency:

🚨 Every year in France 75,000 young people leave the school system without qualifications

🚨 In priority neighborhoods 1 in 2 children don't get their brevet

🚨 And later it's 40% of these young people who are unemployed.

Faced with this situation, the Espérance banlieues association is taking action by proposing an innovative school model.

What is our impact today?

After 12 years of action, our impact is concrete and measurable.

🏠 We have 16 establishments throughout France,

🧒🏽 3,600 students and their families supported,

🧑🏽‍🎓 97% success rate at the brevet, 76% of which with honors,

🚪 100% of our students enter a diploma course when they leave our schools

And beyond the figures, these are the stories of lives that are transformed:

School parent"Ano child is abandoned, no child is left on the side of the road. Here they'll motivate them all the way!"

Student at the school "We're taught a lot and not just academically, but also as a person and future citizen. We are allowed to blossom in many aspects, notably through theater or singing"

⁉️ How do our schools achieve such results?

🤏🏽 small class sizes: no more than 15 pupils per class, which means we can get to know each pupil and his or her family personally to provide better support.

📚 innovative pedagogies: while scrupulously following the national education curriculum we use the best of existing pedagogies: Singapore math - Montessori - conscious sense and we develop our own pedagogies

👩‍👦 teachers who are educators, who are in constant contact with parents to give them the keys to their child's success.

🏛 In order to break down the barriers of determinism great attention is paid to the transmission of codes and savoirs êtres so that our students fully integrate into society and the professional world.

🌍 Our schools are open to the world: thanks to our partners and supporters our students meet professionals, discover trades and broaden their horizons.
