The Lycée Émilie du Châtelet is a state senior high school in Serris, Seine-et-Marne, France, in the Paris metropolitan area.
This educational establishment is named after Émilie du Châtelet, a French female scientist, especially a natural philosopher and a mathematician, during the first half of the 18th century. She is also known for having strongly argued for girl's education.
Located around to the east of Paris in the district of Val d'Europe (lit. Valley of Europe), the eastmost part of the new town of Marne-la-Vallée, this sixth-form college has seen its enrollments regularly increase with population growth supported by a strong local economic development through activities often linked to trade (with a local central business district and a large shopping centre) and tourism (with the Disneyland Paris entertainment resort and many leisure places nearby).
The Lycée Émilie du Châtelet welcomed its first students at the start of the 2006 school year in temporary premises near the current site which was inaugurated at the start of the 2010 school year.
Teaching is mainly provided in French and partially in English (standard British English) for the vocational and higher sections.At the same time, the languages (and related foreign civilizations) studied are English, German, Spanish, Italian and Korean. In addition, it is also possible to study Latin.
, it had 685 students.[2] Due to the diversity of the trainings offered and the different languages taught associated with the growth of the particularly young local population, the enrollments have continuously increased to reach 1,089 in 2019.
