Lycée Maintenon

Today we went to school!


It started out overcast and a little cool, but by early morning it was sunny and easily 70 degrees.

This is from outside the school. The school entrance has a locked gate and a buzzer system to enter.

Here are some of our students gathering before the school day begins.

Superintendent Monsieur Fournier (in the tan jacket) addresses the students welcoming us to their school.

Here are the French and American students (with the teachers and Monsieur Fournier) together for a picture.

The courtyard for the school. The gate entrance is to the right and the classrooms are in the buildings.

This is the Queue. Students from all the grade levels line up here 2 by 2 before class starts. They must be absolutely silent before the teacher lets them into the classroom. If they do not quiet down quickly, they are scolded.

This is the original school, over 100 years old. It now has administrative offices and the Staff Lounge in the basement.
