Lab School Paris

The Lab School Paris is an innovative, bilingual, inclusive, and secular institution that combines research findings from fields such as education, psychology, sociology, and neuroscience with active, student-centered pedagogy. It emphasizes the development of psychosocial skills alongside academic knowledge, fostering an environment where students are encouraged to explore, question, and collaborate. The school's leadership is guided by principles of ethics, social justice, and the promotion of the common good.

The school provides a bilingual education from kindergarten (starting with Grande Section) through the IB Diploma Programme in the final two years of secondary school. Primary levels are organized into double-grade classes (CP, CE1/CE2, CM1/CM2), while secondary levels (6e to Terminale) feature subject-specific classes and interdisciplinary projects. The curriculum covers the French national education requirements while incorporating international perspectives and specialized subjects like science, literature, and arts.

The school aims to prepare students to become responsible, autonomous, and engaged citizens. Students develop essential competencies such as problem-solving, effective communication, and critical thinking, with the school's pedagogical approach designed to help them realize their full potential as future leaders and innovators.

The school prioritizes the development of psychosocial skills, including emotional intelligence, empathy, critical thinking, and collaboration. It integrates social and emotional learning (SEL) into the academic content, utilizing active, sequenced, and coordinated pedagogical methods to support student well-being and academic success.

The school follows a three-step pre-registration process: viewing an information session (online or in-person), creating an account on the LabCompanion platform, and paying a €100 application fee. Following this, families schedule a video meeting with the school leadership and a discovery day for the student. Admissions are subject to availability, and the school requires a €600 enrollment fee per student.

The school operates on a standard academic calendar, with specific holiday dates available for download on the school's website. Payments are structured in 10 installments or as a single annual payment.

The school operates across two locations: a headquarters at 46 rue de Montreuil in Paris (75011) and a site at 38 rue Parmentier in Montreuil (93100). The campus environment is designed to be stimulating and supportive, facilitating both traditional classroom learning and project-based, interdisciplinary work.

The school offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including music, theater, and chess. Recent offerings include a musical comedy program and specialized workshops such as 'KidzLab'. These activities are designed to complement the academic curriculum and foster student engagement.
