History
Throughout the decades the student population increased, from 1,600 students in 1975 to 2,400 students in 1989. The school had insufficient agents de service by the 1990s, with only an increase from 49 agents in 1975 to over 30 agents in 1989, and then a decrease to 28.5 positions in 1994.
By 2016 the school had 1,800 students. That year employees of the French offices of Deloitte provided assistance to the school.
15 students who engaged in a playwriting workshop were featured in the documentary Changer de regard; they were in the level prèmiere ES (equivalent to the U.S. 11th grade or the British first year of sixth-form college).
