Not another middle school

The Saint-Louis-Guillotière middle school of Lyon is singular. Created by the Jesuits at the beginning of the 70s, It is curiously confided to a lively teaching staff very influenced by the sphere of influence of May, 68.

Director of the institution during almost ten years, Philippe Meirieu, discovers it and tests his educational theories there. The differentiated Pedagogy is took part in under all its facets of the individual index card to the project of group. Still today, with his pupils who, every six weeks, choose their professors and their classes, Saint Louis represents an experimental middle school… but an experimented experimental middle school.
