Spear’s Review

The International School of Paris makes the most of its city-centre location, with its three campuses providing seamless access to Paris for field trips, sports excursions and other experiential learning opportunities. According to the school, ‘Paris is our classroom.’

The school embraces diversity, emphasises the importance of multilingual communication and has a strong focus on equipping young people to become global citizens. The school offers the IB curriculum at three levels – primary years, middle years and diploma programme – preparing students ‘to engage with and succeed in a complex world’ – and around half of all students who attend graduate with a bilingual diploma.

Students come from all over the world; there are typically 65 nationalities represented each year. Each child is further encouraged to discover their passions through co-curricular activities such as sports, arts, environmental clubs and more.
