Manutan Collectivités Supports Ecole Fractale

For over a year, Manutan Collectivités has been one of the patrons of Ecole Fractale. Located in Chauray, this institution welcomes students with special needs through an adapted, individualised, and caring pedagogy. This meaningful partnership aims to promote an inclusive education system and support local development in our region, reflecting our societal commitments.

Ecole Fractale was established in 2012 by two parents of gifted children. Open to all primary and secondary school students, it offers a specific educational approach to better accommodate children with special needs: intellectual precocity, neurodiversity*, Dys disorders**, school phobia, and more.

These students benefit from personalised support thanks to a teaching team trained to listen to the students, as well as privileged learning conditions with multi-level classes of reduced size. The goal is to enable them to continue their education from primary school to the Brevet des Collèges, before either returning to a traditional school curriculum or finding a new path.

As a patron, we support Ecole Fractale through financial and material assistance. We provide them with furniture and educational equipment to furnish their spaces: tables, chairs, cupboards, trolleys, benches, sofas, and more. More recently, we also hosted one of their conferences at our premises. The event brought together health professionals, educators, and parents to discuss School Refusal Anxiety. These are just some of the ways we work for the well-being of both children and teachers.

We are proud to support Fractale School, which helps each child rediscover the joy of learning and build self-confidence. This is one of our initiatives to actively contribute to a fairer and more inclusive society.
