Introduction
Cours Sainte-Anne is a distance-learning school in Paris offering the French curriculum for kindergarten through the fourth grade. Founded in 1996 by dedicated teachers, it delivers classical, richly structured content through a coherent method. The school is located at 6 rue Guillaume Tell, 75017 Paris, France, and supports families seeking distance education. Families receive all course materials and ongoing support from a teaching team, with conferences and practical workshops for parents held throughout the year.
The pedagogy rests on five essential points: reading, analyzing, practicing, memorizing, and restitution. Christian values are transmitted through dictation texts, recitations, and readings, with catechism optional for families who wish. In early years, arts, culture, and language are integrated to support memory and ethical understanding. Language offerings in upper grades include English and Latin in 6th grade and German in 5th grade. The École des parents provides parenting education and Ateliers méthodologiques as parent supports.
Cours Sainte-Anne is a distance-learning school based at an administrative office in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, located near the Saint-Lazare train station. Because it is a correspondence school, students complete their studies from home, meaning there is no physical campus for students to attend or travel to.

Type
Cours Sainte-Anne is a co-educational, non-campus, distance-learning school. It does not provide boarding facilities, as all coursework is completed remotely by the student at home.

Country affiliation

Religious affiliation
While the school was founded on Catholic family values, it is not a religious institution and is open to families of all backgrounds.
