Chavagnes International College is a private Catholic boarding school for boys, located in western France, committed to delivering a balanced education to its students. Founded as a minor seminary in 1802 on a site that has been a seat of learning since the middle ages, Chavagnes now provides an international education, informed and inspired by the Catholic faith.
In our College we joyfully accept the authentic vision of Catholic education as taught by the Magisterium of the Church; this is a model of education where the Faith permeates and informs our approach to every subject in the curriculum. It is the kind of education that imparts a world view. In other words, a classical education.
In Chavagnes, Christ is the model for teachers and pupils alike. How could a traditional Christian education do anything else? ”
Chavagnes offers a way out of the many problems that surround the formation of young people in our day, by rekindling the spirit of love and service that used to characterise education, and particularly Catholic education. Several of the teachers at Chavagnes are Fellows of the Company of St Gregory, a canonically approved community of men who promise to serve the Church a year at a time through the life of a Christian schoolmaster, leading the boys by an example of prayer and dedication.
