Lycée Albert Premier

The school offers courses according to the curriculum prescribed by the French Directorate of National Education, Youth and Sports.

The main building was constructed between 1665 and 1675 as a convent for noble girls, as requested by the Catherine-Charlotte de Gramont, wife of Louis I.

For the next 10 years, the buildings were vacant, until, on 31 May 1870, a group of Italian Jesuits began to use them to provide open college courses.

On the 50th anniversary of its founding, Rainier III renamed the school "Lycée Albert I st" to commemorate its founder.

The library preserves many ancient works from private donations including a copy of the Encyclopedia of Diderot and d'Alembert.
