Introduction

The International School of Paris (ISP) is an English-speaking day school located in the heart of the 16th arrondissement. The Primary School at the Ranelagh campus is housed in two converted residential buildings connected by an interior courtyard and a playground. As the only school in France to offer the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum, ISP provides the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for students aged 3 to 11. A signature feature of the school is its "Paris as a Classroom" initiative. This program integrates the city's resources directly into the curriculum through more than 70 local field trips annually, ranging from visits to the nearby Ranelagh Garden to historical sites across Paris. Students benefit from a mandatory French language program that begins in Nursery, alongside specialized support for mother-tongue languages like Japanese and Korean. Notable facilities include dedicated art and music spaces and a "secret door" connecting the primary campus buildings, fostering a sense of community for its 750 students.

Admissions

1. Submitting an Application. Applications are submitted online through the ISP OpenApply platform. The OpenApply system guides you through the necessary documents, with some forms completed directly in OpenApply and other documents scanned and uploaded separately. Any documents written in a language other than English or French must be accompanied by an official translation.

2. Application Timeline 2025-26. Applications for the 2025-26 academic year (September 2025 – June 2026) can be submitted with no deadline; complete application files are reviewed as of January 2025 and on a continual basis thereafter. There are separate checklists for Early Learners to Kinder, Grade 1 to Grade 5, and Grade 6 to 12.

3. How Applications Are Reviewed and Acceptances Sent. Application reviews begin in December for the next academic year, but December is not a deadline; applications are reviewed throughout the year and space varies by grade. The Admissions Committee comprises members of the Admissions Team, the Primary or Secondary School Principal, and the Head of School, and may consult the Wellbeing or Learning Support teams. If an application is successful, an official acceptance letter is sent by email with instructions on completing the registration process and securing the child's place at ISP.

4. Registration After Acceptance. After receiving the acceptance, follow the email instructions to complete registration and secure the child's place at ISP.

5. Waiting Pool. If capacity is reached in any grade, successful candidates are placed in a waiting pool; full details on waiting pool procedures are described in the ISP Admissions Policy.

Some grades have additional entry requirements, including English-language proficiency: non-native English speakers must provide evidence of at least B1 English across all test components (speaking, reading, writing, listening); Grade 11–12 entry typically expects higher English proficiency (B2) to access the IB Diploma Programme. For Grade 10 entry, private English tuition may be required if necessary to achieve the required level by year-end.
