About international schools in Paris, France
Paris’s more affordable international options form a distinct tier that sits alongside high-fee private campuses: they include state-run “sections internationales” inside French collèges and lycées, smaller private bilingual schools and a few private international schools that price below the city’s premium houses. Families will commonly find the French national curriculum delivered with an international section or bilingual programme, plus schools offering IB, British or American tracks; English - French bilingualism is the most widespread, with Spanish, German, Italian and increasingly Mandarin also available. Fees vary a lot by type: public international sections are provided through the state at little or no tuition for resident families apart from modest section or registration charges, while lower-fee private bilingual and international schools in and around Paris commonly sit well below the top-tier market. Parents relocating to Paris should plan for competitive admissions at selective public sections and some private schools, check transport and after-school options because many affordable schools are in inner suburbs, and allow time for language-assessment tests or interviews during the annual application cycle.
