International School 33

The school's educational philosophy balances academic excellence with personal fulfillment, aiming to foster self-confidence, autonomy, and respect for others. It places the student at the center of the learning process, valuing individual personalities and cultural diversity within a caring, structured, and multicultural environment. The pedagogy encourages critical thinking, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning, preparing students to become active, open-minded global citizens.

The school offers the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum, including the Primary Years Programme (maternelle to CM2), Middle Years Programme (6e to 2nde), and both the IB Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme for high schoolers (1ère and Terminale). Instruction is bilingual in French and English from age two and a half, with subjects taught equally in both languages by native speakers. Students can also study Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, and they are prepared for international certifications such as Cambridge English Qualifications, DELF junior, Cervantes, HSK, and the French Diplôme National du Brevet.

Graduates of the school achieve a 100% acceptance rate to their first-choice universities, earning a bilingual, French, or English IB Diploma that is fully recognized by the French state and integrated into Parcoursup. Alumni successfully transition to prestigious higher education institutions globally, including Harvard University, the University of Oxford, HEC Paris, and École Polytechnique.

The school provides tailored support for intellectually gifted children (HPI), with teachers trained to let them progress at their own pace while supporting their high sensitivity. Additionally, non-bilingual students or those who do not speak English are placed in dedicated sections with adapted language support to help them acquire French or English progressively.

Admissions are open year-round for students from Petite Section to Terminale, welcoming both bilingual and non-bilingual applicants without an entrance exam. The five-step enrollment process includes an initial inquiry, a personalized campus visit during school hours, a dossier review, a decision within 48 hours, and final registration. Tuition fees are structured on a sliding scale across six categories based on the family's household income, ranging from €6,210 to €15,525 annually depending on the grade level and income bracket.

The campus consists of two modern buildings located 500 meters apart. The first building (850 m²) serves students from kindergarten to 4e and features a library, a science lab, visual arts rooms, 3D printers, a dojo, and an 1,800 m² outdoor playground with sports zones. The second building (480 m²) is dedicated to older students from 3e to terminale, providing spacious classrooms, exam rooms, quiet study areas, a laboratory, and a 1,000 m² secure green outdoor space.

Students participate in weekly physical education, including motor skills for younger children and sports like judo, basketball, and football for older students. Artistic development is supported through weekly music and visual arts classes. The school also offers extra-curricular activities, international events, Erasmus+ mobility projects such as "JANE - Eco-Explorers," and Model United Nations experiences like MUNCONNECT.
