Introduction

The George V campus of The Bilingual Montessori School of Paris opened in 1972 on the premises of the American Cathedral in the 8th arrondissement. Serving children ages 2 to 6, it delivers a strict Montessori curriculum through complete bilingual immersion. Each classroom operates with two full-time educators, one native English speaker and one native French speaker. This dual-language model allows students to naturally acquire both languages while working through practical life exercises, sensory materials, and early mathematics. A distinctive feature of the George V campus is its intimate, multicultural environment, hosting around 18 different nationalities within just two main classes. The school partners with Pari-Grandir to provide after-school bilingual activities like yoga and cooking. Students also benefit from weekly physical education with a dedicated sports director and music appreciation programs, ensuring they develop practical and creative skills alongside their academic foundations.
