Scientific Council

Five years after its foundation, L’ÉCOLE has decided to set up a scientific council: a consultative body to oversee the consistency of its educational policy and the relevance of its teaching materials.

Directed by the President of L’ÉCOLE, Lise Macdonald, the council is made up of 14 experts - each appointed for three years - and meets twice each year.
