What is a lab school ?
A laboratory school is a school affiliated to a university department or a teacher training structure.
Three complementary activities are associated with a lab school: teaching, training and research. Because of this structure, a link is naturally created between education and research, which allows the school to “Develop and test new approaches, by modeling the best practices” (Cucchiara, 2010).
Who are we?
We are a non-profit organisation that brings together the activities of the Lab School Network and the Lab School Paris.

Our mission
The Lab School Network (LSN) is a network of actors from different horizons, and of citizens involved in educational renewal. Created in November 2015, at the initiative of Pascale Haag (EHESS), it includes researchers, teachers, representatives of public authorities, associations, institutions and companies.
Our actions have two main goals
To create a pilot school inspired by the concept of laboratory schools, the Lab School Paris, taking into account the contribution of research and applying scientifically validated teaching practices.
To contribute to the educational transition by conducting research-actions with the French Ministry of Education and by organizing seminars, meetings and events for various audiences.
