About the school
A unique setting in the Champagne region. Just one hour from Paris and its airports, right in the heart of the Champagne region and close to tourist towns famous for their history, culture and food, you will find a unique school: Excellencia. The Excellencia school is located in a village in the Champagne region, in a leafy setting surrounded by hills and vineyards. And the historic buildings which are dotted throughout the neighbouring towns (such as Dormans) are a constant and vivid reminder of the historic and cultural heritage of the area. The school sits in completely secure and tree-filled grounds stretching over 5 hectares. Nestling among the vineyards, the school has a stunning view over the surrounding countryside where pupils can enjoy complete peace and quiet. The Excellencia campus is a unique property with its château dating from the beginning of the 19th century, a heated junior Olympic-size swimming pool, a large number of classrooms and study rooms, a suite of adjoining buildings designed for maximum convenience, and its carefully designed and fully equipped apartments where parents can stay if they wish to visit their children.
The Excellencia site has 5 hectares of grounds which are completely secure. Access to the various buildings is managed by an electronic badge system, so that no unauthorised persons may enter the Excellencia grounds.
Excellencia offers a place to live and work which allows your child to concentrate on their studies and to boost their progress. Life at the boarding school (accommodation, meals, trips etc.) guarantees a friendly living experience, creating a family feeling amongst the boarders.
Spacious buildings are arranged to provide both complete comfort, peace and quiet, either in individual or shared single-sex accommodation. All of the staff are present 24 hours a day and they constantly monitor the pupils’ well-being. The grounds are solely reserved for the pupils and they can enjoy them in complete safety.
Your child will stay in a dormitory (with 2 to 4 children per room) allocated according to their personality and character. The rooms will be fully-equipped for your child’s well-being: spacious, well-ventilated and comfortably furnished.
The bedrooms are spread throughout the annex buildings of the mansion, situated in the heart of the wooded 5 hectare grounds. The girls’ and boys’ buildings are separate. Only members of staff have access to all of the buildings for security reasons.
Mealtimes are important for relaxation and conversation at Excellencia. The students are served in a buffet style in the dining room, or outside if the weather is nice, and they are under constant supervision by the staff. Your child can choose from a wide range of foods (bread, cereals, hot drinks, dairy products, cold meats, eggs, seasonal fruits, etc.) at breakfast. At lunchtime and at dinner, they have a choice between 8 and 10 starters from the buffet (both hot and cold) and different main courses.

- We will help you to identify your family priorities and find the best potential schools fit.
- We will approach those schools on your behalf
- We work with you through the full process, help with admission procedures and stay with you until your children finish their boarding school education.
Academic life
Years 9 and 10
The aim for Years 9 and 10 is to provide the basics in terms of teaching mechanisms and to make each child aware of their potential and their cognitive abilities, so as to give them the necessary tools and methods to succeed in Years 11 and above. There are also specific methodology and self-awareness workshops offered in Years 9 and 10.
