Consider a taxi, from the official taxi queue - about 55€. Do not accept offers from clandestine drivers soliciting from within the terminals.

You could also take the train. From Terminal 1, take the CDGVAL to Roissypol, purchase a ticket to Paris - 10€ - and take the next train. At Châtelet, transition to RER A to Auber, at Auber transition to Métro 8, direction Balard, exit at Ecole Militaire. Keep your ticket until you exit Ecole Militaire.
Someome could do all that but it is a very convoluted way to get from CDG to Ecole Militaire. Cheaper and far easier would be the Roissybus to the stop near Opera, then the Metro 8 to Ecole Militaire.

I much prefer your suggestion of a taxi, noting though that time of day can impact time and cost a lot.

Roissybus/métro cheaper? How so?

The Roissybus is 11€ plus 1.80€ for the métro ticket. That´s 12.80€ for the bus/métro combination.

The RER/métro from CDG to Ecole Militaire is 10€.

I would just note that if it's rush hour, buses and taxis can be very slow. Very.

You're correct. The RER, followed by a transfer to another RER, followed by a transfer to the Metro, is cheaper by almost $3.

And much more cumbersome.
