Classes
School classes are named after:
- The ENSAM center it originates from;
- The last two digits of the year of admission.
For instance, students who entered the school in 1997, in Cluny are member of the Cluny 1997 or Cl 197 class. 197 is used instead of 97 to disambiguate from the 1897 class.
| Center | Abbrev. |
|---|---|
| Châlons-en-Champagne | Ch |
| Angers | An |
| Aix-en-Provence | Ai or KIN |
| Cluny | Cl |
| Lille | Li |
| Paris | Pa |
| Bordeaux | Bo |
| Karlsruhe | Ka |
| Metz | Me |
There have not been any classes from the Paris centre since the late 1940s.
Classes usually create an association to organise the students when they leave school. Some classes also choose an association name that differs from their usual designation.
Finally, all the classes of the same year, in all centres, are given a unique name by the Alumni Society. For instance, the 1982 classes have been given the name "Louis Delâge".

Famous quotes containing the word classes:
“My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.”
—Hannah More (1745–1833)
“One marvels why ... the middle classes still insist on so much discomfort for their children at such expense to themselves.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
