Shafaqna English- The Avicenne Muslim middle school in Nice reopened after the Marseille Administrative Court of Appeal confirmed the cancellation of a government order that sought to close the school.
The court ruled on Friday (10 Oct 2025) that the financial errors cited by authorities were not serious enough to justify shutting down the private school, Le Figaro reported.
“It’s the third victory in a row for Avicenne. We hope the harassment against this school will finally stop,” said Lawyer Sefen Guez Guez, who represents the institution.
The Avicenne College, located in a disadvantaged area in northeast Nice, was founded in 2016. It currently welcomes around 130 students and follows the official national curriculum, adding 1.5 hours per week of Arabic language and 1.5 hours of Muslim ethics.
