Established in 1961 (initially in Cugnaux and relocated to Toulouse in 1963), ORT Toulouse serves the Occitanie region with professional/technical high school pathways and post-secondary (Bac+2 to Bac+3) options in administration, management, commerce, sales, customer relations, real estate, health, social, early childhood, and IT. The School reports a consistent 100% Baccalaureate success rate and also provides adult vocational training.

ORT Toulouse’s provision includes paramedical optics as a specialist area, and the opening of a Rugby Sports Section enriches school life. The adult-training arm develops innovative offers for employees and managers, aligning upskilling with regional labour-market needs.

Led by ORT France, ORT Toulouse plays an active role in several national and international projects:

• CyberCup4ALL: The School is a major participant in this cyberattack simulation competition, which develops students’ teamwork, problem-solving, and digital security skills. The program immerses students in professional-level scenarios, building critical awareness and confidence in IT risk environments.

• STEM Award: ORT Toulouse participated in the annual World ORT STEM Communication Award, which recognizes ORT students from around the world for producing outstanding video presentations that clearly and skilfully explain STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) topics to a non-specialized audience.

• Optical Application Store: In ORT Toulouse, Optician students benefit from an application store right on their campus. The purpose is to give them a practical opportunity to assist real customers in finding suitable eyewear. Partners supply the glasses, and students are then able to practise the full client process during training, building authentic professional skills.

• Sports: ORT Toulouse has been awarded the Generation 2024 label in connection with the Paris Olympics. The school participated and introduced its students to a wide range of sports. ORT Toulouse students also caused a sensation at the Albi Color Run, organized by the UNSS du Tarn. This festive 3km race is dedicated to promoting physical activity for women.
