History	History Jeannine Manuel joined the French Resistance and later the London Free French in 1940; she returned to France for the Liberation of Paris in August 1944 and was convinced that ignorance breeds fear and that fear is the root cause of human conflict. In September 1954, the École Active Bilingue opened its doors in a former townhouse on Avenue de la Bourdonnais in Paris' 7th arrondissement. The school was renamed the École Active Bilingue Jeannine Manuel (EABJM) and opened at 70 Rue du Théâtre in Paris' 15th arrondissement. The school's mission is to promote international understanding through bilingual education for a multicultural community of students. It aims to shape ‘whole' people who are aware of their place in the world and ready to play a part in world affairs.	History Founded in 1954 as the École Active Bilingue (EAB) in Paris, the school introduced a pioneering bilingual model to open education to the world and promote language learning from an early age. It evolved into the École Internationale Bilingue (EIB) to reflect increased internationalization and cultural openness while maintaining its bilingual approach. EIB Paris is a network of eight private, secular bilingual schools located in Paris and the western suburbs.

Applications are accepted all year round, depending on available places.
Scholarships	Scholarships The Lille campus launched scholarships for students entering the 6th grade, funded by the Jeannine Manuel Foundation, to foster greater social diversity. These income‑based scholarships cover registration fees and may cover part or all of the tuition, with the aim of providing access to bilingual education for disadvantaged students. The program prepares recipients for the French Baccalaureate with International Option (OIB). Admissions for this route involve a regular process including review of school records, tests, attendance at a school presentation and visit, and a meeting with one of the school directors; parental commitment is essential. Applications can be submitted online via the school's admissions portal.	Scholarships —
Waitlist	Waitlist There is a waiting list. Waiting list applicants are those whom the school would really like to admit, but cannot due to a lack of space. Waiting list placements are not automatic; the Admissions Committee informs families by email. There is no fixed order on the waiting list; when a space becomes available, the admissions team reviews the entire waiting list. Among equally qualified applicants, places are offered based on criteria such as current/former students of sister schools and their siblings, children of alumni and staff, extra-curricular interests, and other factors; the school also reserves space for international applicants when possible. Families on the waiting list must reapply the following year if they remain interested.	Waitlist —
