Lennen Bilingual School
Choosing Lennen Bilingual School means enrolling your child in a stimulating and supportive bilingual educational journey, from Early Childhood through the end of Primary School. Our admissions process is designed as a thoughtful exchange, allowing us to get to know one another and to work together in shaping an educational pathway that is well suited to your child.
The admissions process at Lennen Bilingual School unfolds in several steps, designed to guide families with clarity and serenity. Each application is reviewed with care, respecting the background, personality, and needs of every child.
Families are warmly invited to reach out to ask questions, learn more about our educational approach, and discuss their child’s profile. This initial exchange allows us to get to know one another and to guide families through the admissions process before any formal application.
We welcome families to the school for a visit and a meaningful conversation with the educational team. This step offers an opportunity to experience the school environment, explore our pedagogy, and ensure a shared understanding of the educational journey ahead.
Families are invited to complete the online application form and submit initial information about their child and family.
Each application is carefully reviewed to assess alignment with the school’s educational vision, values, and the child’s individual needs.
Following approval, enrollment is confirmed and the child officially joins the Lennen Bilingual School community.

For detailed information regarding tuition levels, payment schedules, and what is included, families are invited to contact the Admissions Office.
Meeting the team is an important and welcoming step in the admissions journey. These conversations offer families the opportunity to get to know the school’s educational vision, discover daily life at Lennen, and talk openly about their child’s individual needs in an atmosphere of trust, care, and transparency.
Applications are accepted throughout the year, subject to availability. We nevertheless encourage families to apply early, as this allows for smoother planning of the start of the school year and more in-depth exchanges with the Admissions team.
No prior knowledge of English is required. Through daily immersion, children naturally acquire both French and English at their own pace. For students who are new to English, EAL (English as an Additional Language) support is available. Teachers provide individualized language support through a combination of in-class push-in support and targeted pull-out sessions, depending on each child’s needs. This flexible approach ensures that every student feels confident, supported, and able to progress comfortably in a bilingual environment.
School visits are an important part of the decision-making journey. They allow families to discover the campus, meet the team, and ask questions, while helping children become active participants in the process. Experiencing the school environment firsthand makes the transition more concrete and supports a confident and positive start to school life.
We understand that on-site visits are not always possible for expatriate families living abroad. In these cases, we make every effort to ensure that a school visit is scheduled once the family arrives in Paris, prior to the child’s first day of school, as an integral part of the onboarding process for new students.
Because class sizes are intentionally kept small, availability may be limited and places can fill quickly. Each application is reviewed with care to ensure the pedagogical balance and overall well-being of each class.
Yes. We recognize that every family and every child has unique transition needs, and we take this aspect of schooling very seriously. A child’s well-being and readiness for learning are essential foundations for long-term success.
As an international school, transition and integration are a priority and a core area of expertise at Lennen Bilingual School. We take a whole-school approach, with close coordination between teachers, leadership, and admissions, to ensure a smooth and thoughtful transition for each student.
Your experience with us begins as soon as enrollment is confirmed—well before the first day of school. From that moment, our team works closely with families to prepare each child’s arrival, support adaptation, and create the conditions for a confident, positive start.
Lennen Bilingual School is an independent (hors contrat) school, a status shared by many international and bilingual schools in France. This framework provides the school with financial autonomy and the flexibility necessary to design and deliver a truly bilingual Franco-American educational program. It also allows us to recruit the teaching staff best suited to our pedagogical approach and to adapt our curriculum to the needs of an international community.
At the same time, Lennen Bilingual School operates within the regulatory framework set by the French authorities. The school is subject to national requirements regarding educational values, learning conditions, health and safety, child protection, and institutional compliance. This ensures that students benefit from both pedagogical freedom and a secure, well-regulated learning environment.
This balance enables us to combine academic rigor, international best practice, and a high standard of care for every child.
