The Antoine de Saint Exupéry public high school took shape in the premises of a former primary school. In the 1980s, the need to accommodate more students at the Dautet high school led the authorities of the time to create a new establishment in La Rochelle. Initially an annex and then an independent establishment, the high school gradually grew, with the addition of the science building, school canteen, a gymnasium and boarding school. More recently, a high school house completed the complex.
