The movement of the open air schools started in Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. Their construction combined air and light offering children both physical and intellectual development.
The creation of the open air school of Suresnes was thanks to the mayor Henri Sellier, who entrusted the task to the architects Eugène Beaudoin and Marcel Lods. This building, finished in November 1935, is situated on the south site of the Mont-Valérien in 2 hectares of park land.
Classed as an historical monument since 2002, open air school hosts l'INSHEA (National institution for training and research into education for children with special needs).
