Our classes

from toddlers to grade 5

At every stage of their educational journey, from ages 2 to 11, children thrive in a caring and stimulating environment where bilingualism is experienced naturally and authentically. Our French–American school, located in the heart of Paris, offers a balanced French–English immersion programme delivered by passionate native-speaking teachers and supported by small class sizes that allow for individualised attention. Through this dual-language and dual-culture experience, children develop self-confidence, curiosity, and intellectual agility, empowering them to learn, think, and grow confidently in two languages and two cultures.

In Early Childhood, children grow and thrive in a stimulating bilingual environment where each day nurtures their curiosity, independence, and enjoyment of learning.

Paris by the water: our favorite family aquatic outings

Parisian summers have a unique magic, a blend of long sunny days and vibrant energy. But when the temperature rises, a single desire takes over: finding a cool haven. Far from the clichés, the capital and its surroundings are full of aquatic treasures for sharing simple, joyful family moments. An invitation to rediscover Paris with your feet in the water.

Growing with confidence in elementary school, in French and in English

In elementary school, children do more than learn to read, write, and add. They discover who they are, what excites them, what they are capable of. In a setting where two languages and two cultures meet every day, that discovery takes on a particular depth. Children grow not only in skills. They grow in self-assurance, curiosity, and awareness of themselves and the world around them.

Why preschool is a defining chapter for bilingualism

Between the ages of two and six, a child’s brain absorbs language with an intensity that will never quite return. It is during these early years, when sounds take hold and sentence structures settle in like second nature, that bilingualism truly takes root. Understanding what happens at this age means giving your child the best possible start in a quiet, irreversible journey.

Classroom projects that help little ones grow

To watch a young child engage in a classroom project is to see curiosity take shape and enthusiasm become a skill. Far from a simple activity, a project is a collective adventure where each child, at their own pace, explores, builds, and discovers themselves. It is a foundational experience that transforms the classroom into a true workshop of ideas and cooperation.

Getting ready for school without the yelling or the last-minute rush

It's seven fifteen, the backpack isn't zipped, the toast is getting cold, and one sock has vanished into thin air. This morning looks a lot like many others in homes with young children. And yet, small shifts in rhythm and simple gestures can turn this daily scramble into something calmer — a quieter moment where everyone, child and parent alike, finds their footing before the day begins.
