École normale supérieure de jeunes filles
The École normale supérieure de jeunes filles (also, École normale supérieure de Sèvres) was a French institute of higher education, in Sèvres, now a commune in the suburbs of Paris. The school educated girls only, especially as teachers for the secondary education system.[1] It was founded on 29 July 1881 on the initiative of Camille Sée, following the Sée-inspired act of the legislature which established lycées for girls. In 1985 it merged with the École normale supérieure of the rue d'Ulm.
History
[edit]On the school's founding, French Minister of National Education Jules Ferry named the philosopher and educator Julie Velten Favre director of the institution.[2] The school was initially housed in the former buildings of the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, from which it was ejected in 1940; it was reinstated in the Boulevard Jourdan, in the 14th arrondissement. It existed until 1985, when it merged with the École normale supérieure, Rue d'Ulm, forming a co-educational school.[3]
