Welcoming our Students’ Families

First time at the ENS Paris-Saclay

.

The freshmen’s families were given a tour of the School organized by our 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students. Afterward, almost 450 people gathered in the Emmy Noether hall (mathematician, 1882-1935) to discover our ongoing exhibitions on “Women in Science” and “Education at the ENS Paris-Saclay”.

School president Nathalie Carrasco gave a presentation on our School and its goals of training students for careers in research and higher education, a unique framework at the crossroads of fundamental sciences, engineering and humanities. Its mission is to train young, curious and driven minds, to foster their ability to surmount complex challenges with an excellent formation, a pluridisciplinary approach and a profound belief in transmission.
The president presented the pillars of our School’s development: supporting all talents, promoting exploration and research, and transmitting and sharing science with the greater public.

The visit continued with a friendly buffet, where families had the chance to ask questions to teachers, discuss their expectations and share their pride.

The Importance of Family in our Students’ Success

In her speech, the president also stressed how important families are to the success of our freshmen. A family’s support and understanding is essential to allow them to find fulfillment in their academic career and personal growth. The involvement and active support of families is also a precious support to the School’s academic community.

 

We believe in a united community, where students, teachers, researchers and families work together to reach common goals. Collaboration is the key to making our students succeed and thrive.
Nathalie Carrasco, President of the ENS Paris-Saclay
