Cours Hattemer
Paris Private school
Cours Hattemer is a French private, secular school. It is independent of the state, and has permission to follow its own teaching approach, which is structured and places great stress on repetition to drive home what has been learned. The school has many well-known alumni including the actress Brigitte Bardot and the French President Jacques Chirac.
Hattemer is located in Paris, in the 8th and 16th districts.
Description
The school was founded by Rose Hattemer of Alsace in 1885. The founder taught some of the great Parisian families towards the end of the 19th century, and developed a method of teaching by correspondence for the children of diplomats, which is still followed today.
The school was originally located on rue Clapeyron in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.
It is now housed in a five-story building erected nearby on rue de Londres in 1935 to accommodate a growing number of pupils.
There is a cafeteria, gym and playground.
The school provides flexible hours, so a student may take time to practice an instrument or train for a sport.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as paris Private school. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3128334. VIAF identifies the subject as 133591140. Authority coordinates are 48.878, 2.325. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1885 and 1935.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
