The École normale supérieure de Fontenay-aux-Roses (ENS de Fontenay-aux-Roses or ENS de Fontenay), established by decree in 1880, was a French higher education institution reserved for women, aimed at training teachers and instructors for primary normal schools.
In 1981, coeducation was introduced and, in 1987, the center specialized in humanities and social sciences, renamed École normale supérieure de Fontenay-Saint-Cloud. The teaching of exact and applied sciences was transferred to the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon.
