History, activities, and structure

It was formed in 1975 from the merger of INS (the National Institute of Sport) and ENSEP (L'École Normale Supérieure d'Éducation Physique), and has roots in the 1817 Amoros Military Gymnasium.[2] It trains athletes in 26 different sports.[4]

It operates under the French Ministry of Youth and Sport, and functions based on centralized athletic partnerships with prominent high schools in Paris — such as Lycée Condorcet, Lycée Saint-Louis, Lycée Janson de Sailly, GHS Claude Monet, and The International School of Paris — with a measure of autonomy.[2]

As a boarding school, it provides bedrooms divided into 2 buildings: from 15 years old to 17 years old and over 18 years old. Athletes have school on site up to the baccalaureate as well as some higher education courses.
