Introduction

Union School Paris is a bilingual nursery and primary school for children aged 2 to 11, located in the 16th arrondissement. The school follows a bilingual double curriculum, combining the French Programme de l'Éducation Nationale with the English National Curriculum, with classes of about 20 pupils. Each class is taught by two teachers, one native English speaker and one native French speaker. Cognitive sciences are integrated into pedagogy, and Wednesday afternoons feature a wide range of activities taught in English. The campus covers 1,200 square metres and includes nine classrooms, two playgrounds, a gymnasium, a vegetable garden and a library that becomes a canteen at mealtimes. Meals are locally sourced, ethical and organic; recycling and composting reduce plastic in daily life.
