The school at Saint-Denis du Sig looks to be an French colonil ecole. St. Dennis ws a rural community in the Oran area. It was a colony founded by French farmers beginning about 1845. The area appears to have been lrgeky reclaimed land.One source dates the schooluntil1862. This is when the French left. As St Denis du Sig was mostly French, the school may hve closed down at this time. The school was apparently an all boy school. The boys in the class photo here look to be about 10-11 years old. They look to be mostly French boys, although there seem to be a few AlgeriAn children as well. But they look to be assismilated because they wear French-styled clothing. A few of the boys wear school smocks of varying design. We are not entireky sure about the politics of these assimiated families. Some probably went with the French who left Algeria at the time of independence.
