Preschool and Pre-K through High School

International School – 55+ Nationalities

No French Required

True bilingual education
from the earliest years

Starting with more French in preschool and progressing to a balanced bilingual model, students build strong language skills at every stage. No French is required to start, with dedicated pathways for new learners at each grade. Students with no French background thrive, gaining confidence, cognitive flexibility, and a global perspective.

International perspective

Through a French-American curriculum and an international High School program, in a diverse community of over 55 nationalities, students learn to analyze ideas from multiple perspectives and develop a flexible, global way of thinking.

Project-based & STEM learning

Students actively apply knowledge through hands-on projects, strengthening critical thinking, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving skills.

Pathway to the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) program

Students continue into High School, an IB Candidate School, where they develop advanced critical thinking and prepare for the globally recognized IB Diploma Programme, opening pathways to universities worldwide.

Most Schools Focus on What Students Learn. Few Focus on How They Think.

Are you looking for a school where your child builds confidence, thinks independently, and learns to apply knowledge in the real world?
