South Champagne Business School (formerly known as ESC Troyes) is a private institution. It operates as a Grande École in France, which are elite schools typically privately funded or managed by chambers of commerce. While some Grandes Écoles have public affiliations, ESC Troyes is independent and not state-run.
Private business schools in France often emphasize close industry ties, smaller class sizes, and specialized programs. ESC Troyes follows this model, offering business and management degrees with a focus on entrepreneurship and innovation. Its private status allows flexibility in curriculum design and international partnerships.
