International Schools in Paris, France

Paris’s international-school scene mixes full international schools (many offering the International Baccalaureate or Anglo-American programmes) with bilingual private schools that teach the French national curriculum alongside intensive English (and other languages), plus a network of state “sections internationales” embedded in public schools. English - French bilingual provision is the most common offer, with Spanish, German and other mother-tongue groups also widely supported; many international schools combine international syllabuses (IB, IGCSE/A-Level or US-style programmes) with strong French language tuition. Fees vary sharply by provider and pupil age: typical annual tuition for private international schools in Paris most often sits in the low-to-mid tens of thousands of euros, though some schools charge significantly less and a few much more. Admissions are commonly done on an annual cycle or rolling basis, with open days, assessment tasks or interviews and waiting lists, so relocating families should start enquiries and applications several months before a planned move and check whether a given school has entry testing or language requirements.
