Introduction

Founded in 1941, the school utilizes traditional French residences and converted stables as classrooms and boarding houses for its 1,500 students. Parents can choose between the International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP, and DP) or the French Bilingual program, which prepares students for the International French Baccalaureate (BFI). Students engage in specialized offerings like the Equestrian program, which utilizes the town's heritage as a horse racing center. As a member of the Round Square network and a UNESCO partner, the school integrates practical service through initiatives such as the ICU2 project, providing vision care to thousands of people annually. Extracurricular activities range from competitive athletics to IB Visual Art exhibitions.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Inquire. Ermitage offers a diverse range of programs from pre-K to secondary school, which vary in language of instruction, pedagogy and tuition. Inquire to receive general information about the programs you would like to learn more about and to receive guidance in choosing the right path for your child.

2. Apply. When you submit an application for your child, you will be guided through the admissions process, step by step. There are two distinct diploma paths, each with their own application process, so choose the appropriate form. If you begin an application and later choose to consider a different program, this can be coordinated by the team.

3. Admissions procedure. Ermitage is selective and ensures it is right for each child. Admissions and Academic staff review each application before moving it forward. Following an initial review, the child may be invited to attend an interview, in person or online for convenience. Depending on the section, the child may be asked to sit level papers in certain subjects to determine the appropriate level and to verify that admissions criteria are met.

4. Responses. The International Primary Programme and the International Baccalaureate have rolling admissions and mid-year entries are possible. Offers are made throughout the year. For Primary, Middle School, and the Lycée, offers for PS and 6e are issued from October, with other grade offers issued after re-enrolment in January/February. After receiving a school place offer, there is a 7-day window to complete the contract and pay the tuition deposit and enrolment fee.
