Maarch and School.Lab: A Long-Term Partnership Supporting Educational Success

Since 2019, Maarch, part of the Xelians group, has been freely hosting the School.Lab association on its premises, allowing more than a hundred students every weekend to benefit from personalised academic support.

Our premises in downtown Nanterre used to sit idle and bored on weekends. For the past 6 years, they’ve been brought to life by bright young minds hard at work, with real results to show for it. It’s a small helping hand from Maarch for a cause that takes a lot of energy. Hats off to Romain and his team of dedicated teachers.

Built on strong values such as openness, sharing and social commitment, this partnership reflects the genuine determination of Maarch and its CEO, Jean-Louis Ercolani, to take concrete action for the success and personal growth of young people.

School.Lab in Practice

School.Lab welcomes students from primary school (CP) to Terminale (the final year of secondary school) every Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 AM to 5 PM, throughout the school year.

Our partnership with Maarch allows us to welcome students from primary school to secondary school every week in a stimulating, friendly setting. Thanks to this concrete support, our teaching team can focus fully on what really matters: helping students build confidence, make progress and thrive.

The academic support sessions last a minimum of 1.5 hours and cover several areas:

• French and Literature
• Mathematics and Physics-Chemistry
• Foreign languages (English, German, Spanish)
• Study skills and homework help 
• Academic coaching and stress management

Each student receives fully personalised support tailored to their level, including exam preparation for the Brevet, the Baccalauréat (BAC) and oral exams.
