Oriane Peillon, founder
Our founder

A school designed for tomorrow's world

An entrepreneur, Oriane Peillon sold her network of 40 restaurants to open the school she had in mind. In her white paper School and AI(in French), she argues for a school of action: framing problems, creating, cooperating.

“You come to school because you want to leave your mark on the world.”

What makes us different

Truly bilingual

Native French- and English-speaking teachers in every class, with Cambridge certification in Grade 5 and in middle school.

Montessori, the demanding way

Montessori-trained educators, mixed-age classes, AMI-approved materials and a prepared environment.

Exceptional supervision

Three adults per class up to Grade 5: every child moves at their own pace.

Thinking for themselves

Philosophy workshops from Grade 1, to learn to question and to argue.

Body and real life

Meals cooked on site, a daily outing to Parc Georges Brassens, sports and swimming lessons.

Open to the world

25 nationalities, UNESCO Associated School, care home visits, outreach to people in need, charity runs, outings and school trips.

Families say it best

“Back from abroad at the last minute, I was looking for a bilingual school for my daughter and could not have found a better place.”

A school parent

“Real rigour in learning and, at the same time, daily kindness, attention and listening.”

A school parent

“The children loved their time at this school, which we left with regret.”
