The Essentials

EIB Lycée Etoile has 400 pupils, instruction in French, English.

Location
EIB Lycée Etoile operates across two campuses in central Paris: Campus Etoile in the 17th arrondissement and Campus Londres in the 8th arrondissement. Both sites are situated in established, residential neighborhoods and are accessible via the city's Metro and public bus networks.

Stages
The school functions as an upper secondary school (lycée), welcoming students in Grades 10 through 12. This corresponds to an age range of approximately 15 to 18 years old, covering the final three years of education before university.

Type
EIB Lycée Etoile is a co-educational, private day school. The school does not offer boarding facilities, meaning students commute to the campus and reside locally with their families.

Pupil Nationality Mix
400 students from more than 40 nationalities.

Additional learning support
The school provides personalized academic guidance and a dedicated university counseling service to help students manage their course loads and applications. While teachers can accommodate some minor learning differences through smaller class groupings, the campus does not maintain specialized facilities or dedicated staff for complex Special Educational Needs (SEN).

Country affiliation
The school is affiliated with France, adhering to the curriculum standards set by the French Ministry of National Education alongside its international diploma tracks.

Religious affiliation
The school is entirely secular and has no religious affiliation.

School day structure
Classes are scheduled between the hours of 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with a student's exact start and finish times varying based on their specific course selections. The daily timetable includes regular intervals for breaks and a designated lunch period.

Bus service
EIB Lycée Etoile does not offer a dedicated private school bus service. Because the campuses are centrally located in Paris, students typically commute independently using the city's public transportation, relying on the Metro, RER, and city bus routes.
