The Collège Stanislas de Paris (French pronunciation: [kɔlɛʒ stanislas də paʁi]), colloquially known as Stan, is a private Catholic school in Paris, situated on "Rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs" in the 6th arrondissement.
[4] Founded in 1804 by Father Claude Liautard, the Collège has both traditional buildings and modern constructions.
Private education in France was indirectly affected by the strong anti-clerical movement that inspired French politicians throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, beginning with the Concordat of 1801.
Even today, it remains isolated from Paris' foremost public Lycées, although Stanislas' "Classes Préparatoires" ultimately leads its students to the same Grandes Écoles as its rivals.
