College de Navarre
The Collège de Navarre was a college of the former University of Paris . It was founded in 1304 by Joan I of Navarre , wife of King Philip IV of France, in the premises of her Hôtel de Navarre on rue Saint-André des Arts . At the end of the 14th century, the Collège de Navarra had newly built buildings in the Rue de la Montagne-Sainte-Geneviève at the beginning of today's Rue Descartes on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève .
Access to school was independent of social and country origins. The three subjects grammar , logic and theology were taught , but not medicine and law . From the beginning, the school was under a grand master who supervised the teaching.
The college was closed during the French Revolution . In 1805, at Napoleon's behest, the École Polytechnique, founded in 1794, moved into its buildings and those of the neighboring Collège de Boncourt .
