The établissement La Rochefoucauld is a private Catholic lycée college under contract to the state and run by the Association LaSalle.

At this time, Jean-Baptiste de La Salle began to organise a community of volunteers known as brothers, devoted to the poor and humble.

When she died, the Viscount Sosthènes de La Rochefoucauld, Duke of Doudeauville, helped by the inheritance he received from her, and from his important personal fortune, continued the tradition of education of the brothers and their founder.

In the 1950s-1960s, private establishment began to sign contracts with the State, and La Rochefoucauld became one of the first to do so, thanks to the number of licensed teachers and the results obtained in the baccalauréats.

Primary school classes take place on rue Cler, near the location of the Sisters of Saint Vincent de Paul.

In 2011, Jérome Dieuset and Christine Jeancolas succeeded Jocelyne Graux in the respective roles of head of sixth form and fifth year.
