This school was not the first, before that Nicolas Sadirac already created a private school with the same principles, Epitech.

He replicated the model with others, tweaking it to make it public, and it got a lot more coverage.

But these schools system is great (as an alumni of Epitech).

No, as most private school in France. The tution fees are pretty high, that is the main cons with this school. However, you have the opportunity to do many internship (like nearly 2.5 years during the 5 years of study available) to decrease the loan you may have.
