Concordia School Paris

Concordia School Paris emphasizes a bilingual and bicultural approach that combines the academic ambition of the French and English traditions. The educational project focuses on three pillars: core knowledge, essential 21st-century skills—such as critical thinking, oracy, and collaboration—and character development, including empathy, integrity, and resilience. The school aims to cultivate lifelong learners who are curious, reflective, and capable of acting with discernment.

The academic programme spans Early Years, Primary, and Middle School, with an IB continuum planned for the future. Instruction is delivered through a 50% bilingual immersion model, where all subjects are taught in both languages by native speakers. The curriculum emphasizes project-based learning, oracy, and the mastery of fundamentals in English, French, and Mathematics.

The school maintains small class sizes, typically capped at 20 students, to allow for personalized academic programmes adapted to each child's individual rhythm. Additional French language support and immersion classes are provided for students whose mother tongue is not French.

The admissions process begins with an online pre-enrolment. Prospective families are encouraged to register for an Open Day to determine if the school is the right educational fit for their child.

The school operates on a three-term academic year, following the official holidays set by the French Ministry of Education (Zone C). The 2026-2027 academic year runs from September 2, 2026, to June 25 or June 30, 2027, with breaks for All Saints, Christmas, Winter, and Spring holidays.

The school operates across two campuses in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The Early Years campus is located at 41, avenue de la Grande Armée, while the Primary and Middle School are situated at 7, rue Cimarosa. The school utilizes the city of Paris as an extension of the classroom, incorporating local museums, monuments, and scientific institutions into its teaching projects.

The school offers a range of sports and extracurricular activities every afternoon. Students participate in LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) theatre courses, which are integrated into the curriculum, and have access to various clubs. These activities are designed to foster teamwork, creativity, and personal development.
