I. Tradition

A genuine choir school

In the centuries-old tradition of European choir schools: daily choral singing, instrumental practice, and the service of the liturgy at the heart of school life.

II. Family spirit

A joyful, family atmosphere

Following Saint John Bosco's educational method: a pedagogy of trust, mixed-age houses (capitaineries), the older boys looking after the younger ones.

IV. Excellence

A choice of excellence, from age 9 to 18

A method of excellence: more, and better, in less time. Small classes, individual support, weekly boarding — at the service of each boy's ambition.

“Our hope is that, through the renewal of the beauty of our liturgies, many new pilgrims will come to honour the Black Virgin, Cause of Our Joy!”

Service of the liturgy

Sung Vespers

We serve the liturgy through the daily singing of Vespers. We keep alive the great centuries-old tradition of European choir schools.

Join us at 6.30 p.m. in the Notre-Dame Chapel, Monday to Thursday, or live on YouTube.
