A place full of charm, designed for learning
In September 2026, the middle-school will move to the heart of the old village of Ventabren, into the beautifully restored former public-school building.
Nestled within a shaded courtyard, between stone arcades and timeworn walls, the site offers a warm, authentic atmosphere straight out of a Marcel Pagnol novel.
Spread over two floors, the building includes themed learning spaces:
- A science lab for exploring, experimenting, and discovering
- An art studio for creating and expressing oneself
- A literary and cultural room for reading, debating, and opening up to the world
Students don’t stay in one fixed classroom; they move from space to space according to their timetable. This structure forges connections with different subjects, supports student autonomy, and gives meaning to learning.
Transitional Year 2025–2026
For the 2025–2026 school year, the Gift School campus will host the Collège Alternatif International du Pays d’Aix located at 110 chemin de Peyres, Ventabren. There will be a dedicated space, equipped with suitable furniture and resources to welcome our middle- school students.
