  6. Our school is a church school where our Christian values underpin much of our work and aspirations both for the children and the whole school community. Our standards of work and behavior are high and we seek to nurture children socially, emotionally, spiritually, and academically. We’re not complacent and try to lead the way for our children and listen and reflect on the effectiveness of what we do and how we do it. We strive to improve our performance and encourage children to do the same. The world of education is changing significantly and children need to be equipped to develop key, relevant life skills. We welcome discussion and agreement with parents about how to assist our children and know that effective school-parent partnerships are crucial for their progress and well-being. As a Christian school, our Christian values are at the core of all we do. These are wisdom, thankfulness, humility, endurance, service, compassion, trust, peace, forgiveness, reverence, friendship, justice, hope, and creation. To help learn about these values, each class study and are champions of two values which they look at in-depth and share with others at school through our assemblies. At St James Primary School we promote ‘British Values’ through our spiritual, moral, social, and cultural education and distinctly Christian ethos, which permeates through the schools’ curriculum and supports the development of the ‘whole child. We recognize that such development is most successful when those values and attitudes are promoted by all the staff and provide a model of behavior for our pupils. During their time at St James, children are helped to learn to manage their behavior and take responsibility for their actions. They are taught the value and the reason behind the laws that govern and protect us. We promote freedom of choice and the right to respectfully express views and beliefs and we do this by providing sensible boundaries within which our children make informed choices through a supportive and safe environment. Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedom, and adults within the school community are proactive in building trusting and respectful relationships with the children to boost their self-esteem and to enable them to make good, confident choices. We are lucky to be a school in the capital of Britain with all the advantages that London has to offer with its cultural and religious diversity. Mutual respect is at the heart of our ethos - respect for individuals, for belongings, for our behavior is a theme that is closely linked to many of our Christian values. We believe in every child’s inclusion, where possible, in a range of activities and settings and locations and we are committed to introducing our children to their wider community beyond the school gates. Our Christian worship helps all pupils to find out about themselves and others linking their lives to the communities in which they belong. Through our assemblies and RE and PSHE lessons as we regularly learn about our Christian values of friendship, compassion, trust, and thankfulness, and these link closely with this idea. Our children follow a broad curriculum based on the revised National Curriculum (2014), and other learning experiences, which aim to develop their knowledge, skills, and understanding of the world and which is a foundation for lifelong learning. We believe all children are entitled to access this curriculum and to learn and develop at an appropriate pace. We seek to educate the whole child in a Christian environment. We encourage our children's physical, moral and social development and want them to be successful learners, confident individuals, and responsible citizens both now and in the future. St James School maintains a close relationship with St James Church, offering us a great opportunity to provide an education firmly founded on Christ and Christian values. As part of the daily act of collective worship, once a week a team from the St James Church Children's Ministry leads an assembly to teach the gospel and to help the children explore and implement the principles of the Christian faith in their daily lives. To enhance worship, the children are taught a variety of songs and participate in very creative, fun, Bible-based discussions. We also teach a rich curriculum incorporating History, Geography, Art and Design, Languages, Music and Personal, Health & Social Education (PHSE). Teachers plan topics of work for each year group from the national curriculum. We supplement our provision each term with events to broader experiences of the children including Do Something Different Day, philosophy for children, Science week, and Hoola hoop day to name but a few. Our children take part in a wide variety of school trips, usually once or twice termly to support their learning. Recent trips have included the Olympic Park, Science Museum, Hackney Empire, Natural History Museum, the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace, the Arts Depot, and the Butterfly House in Golders Hill Park. We also have outside agencies come into the school to run workshops for children in drama, art, music, and science and we undertake local fieldwork in Highgate Woods and Muswell Hill. The building has been updated, playgrounds improved and classrooms refurbished so that the crucial work of educating our children to the highest standards can continue in the tradition established when the school first opened its doors in 1850. Our children are natural scientists and are keen to explore, enquire and understand the world around them. Within the National Curriculum framework, we investigate life processes, materials, physical processes and concentrate on developing children's scientific skills, encouraging them to question, investigate and test appropriately.

  8. St. Lawrence College offers British education to children ages 3-18, in a modern purpose-built campus set in more than 20 acres of glorious countryside in southern Athens. The school’s stunning location provides the ideal setting for unpressurized learning. It is served by an excellent communications network that provides easy access to pupils based across the entire Athens-Piraeus conurbation. In this peaceful rural setting, complete with first-class resources and facilities, children can develop their study skills and achieve lasting and meaningful learning. The education our pupils receive is based upon the English National Curriculum and British educational values throughout, from pre-school through junior school (Key Stage 1 & 2) and senior school (Key Stages 3-5), with IGCSEs being taken at the end of Year 11 and AS & A-Levels in Years 12 and 13. The vast majority of our pupils progress to UK universities, while others choose to embark on their higher education experience in the US or elsewhere in the world. Under the guidance of an outstanding body of teachers, our pupils succeed in reaching far more than their academic potential alone. They become citizens of the world, fully equipped to recognize and respect diversity, either in their immediate society or within the global environment to appreciate and utilize the opportunities provided for them, and to understand the value of being an active and considerate member of their community. They forge bonds of friendship within an inclusive environment of pupils from more than fifty nationalities backgrounds. Our school is one community, united in our respect for each other and ourselves tolerant of differences and proud of our diversity honest and positive about our learning and behavior every day. We promise to provide an environment that gives our pupils the best possible opportunities to develop as happy, curious, independent, and eager life-long learners, who believe in themselves and in their limitless ability to learn who are considerate of others and their needs and who care about their responsibilities as young citizens within a shared community and a diverse society. We will help our pupils gain appreciation and respect for the education itself, and for the amazing opportunity, they have been given by attending St. Lawrence College. When they eventually progress on from our school, every one of them will leave us fully equipped to face the world and its challenges. View full school

With a small-class policy, The Victor Hugo School welcomes over 600 students from 70 different nationalities and educational backgrounds. With more than 30 years of experience in education, The Victor Hugo School is a well-known international institution in Paris, unique because of its tailored English-speaking curriculum, enhanced by compulsory French lessons from the age of three. Our expertise allows children who have not yet mastered English or French to join the school at any time during the year. With a majority of children from expatriate families, The Victor Hugo School does its utmost to ensure an easy transition for students from international backgrounds as they integrate into our school. From Grade 1, each school year begins with a week-long orientation trip to a different French region, where students not only have the opportunity to discover French culture and traditions but also to build close bonds with their classmates and teachers. To promote the integration of our new students, we also offer, on a case-by-case basis, Intensive English lessons and learning support. In addition to English and French, students whose native language is Dutch, Japanese, or Korean can also benefit from mother-tongue language classes (extracurricular). As an inclusive school, we are proud to welcome students of all academic levels and encourage them to succeed. The Victor Hugo school established its programs in response to the growing need for education to reflect the future internationalization of our communities – a need that continues to exist in an ever-changing and globalized world. The Victor Hugo School is an accredited IB World School adhering to the highest academic standards of the IBO. The school offers the IB Diploma Programme and boasts a 100% pass rate, and is a candidate school for the IB Middle Years program. The International Primary Curriculum is provided in primary school, ensuring an international outlook. The Victor Hugo School uses technology, with Interactive Whiteboards in the classroom, to enhance teaching and learning. We also offer a one-to-one iPad program in the Middle School and a vast array of digital resources throughout the school. Students are active members of the community through the IB module of Community, Activity, and Service (CAS) further broadening their education. The Victor Hugo School is proud of its bespoke IB Diploma Programme center. Our IB Diploma students can take full advantage of our location near the Invalides Esplanade to put their learning into an authentic context. With an abundant offering including drama, music, and visual arts and plenty of extra-curricular activities, The Victor Hugo School provides a well-rounded education.
  14. Saint-Denis, established in 1858, is a private Catholic school under contract to the French State, situated in the Loire Valley with over 800 students on roll. It is composed of a preschool and primary school, Saint Martin, as well as a middle and high school, Saint-Denis. We also offer a weekday boarding house for pupils in middle and high school and currently have over 400 boarding students. We offer the French Baccalaureate in the L, S, ES, and STMG streams. This is supplemented by the teaching of History and Geography in English by native speakers in our European Sections (of approximately 300 students) following the French National Syllabus. We also have an International Section. These students take regular French classes and further English language courses in History and Geography. They also study English Literature to IGCSE and AS Level following the Cambridge International Programme. In 10th grade/Year 11 students also take Economics and Religion classes in English. We have a wide cultural mix in the school since we actively recruit students from around the world although the majority of our study body comes from France. Academic excellence is as important as developing personnel skills and we encourage students to become autonomous learners by giving them positions of responsibility in a variety of extra-curricular activities, for example, the Board of Saint-Denis Students. Following in the steps of the Catholic tradition, Saint-Denis strives to be a caring community that educates the whole individual whilst preparing students for life beyond school. Our staff seeks to complement the irreplaceable primary role of parents in education by encouraging our students to become autonomous learners. The history of Saint-Denis reflects a 150-year tradition of excellence in education. It was initially two establishments: the Saint Joseph orphanage, created in 1858, and Saint Martin, a school for young girls. Our school is situated in the heart of the Loire Valley, in the charming town of Loches which is recognized as a historic 'Ville d'art et Histoire. Built on a rocky outcrop, Loches offers an authentic and charming living environment. The narrow cobbled streets led to remarkable panoramic views across the rooftops, clock towers, and spires of the surrounding landscape... View full school

  16. Montessori Hossegor seeks to bring an authentic A.M.I. (Association Montessori Internationale) school to the southwest region of France. We are a couple with over 20 years of international Montessori experience. Our unique encounters with children from differing cultural backgrounds have enabled us to more vividly understand natural human development. The school envisions that word Montessori will be dropped from Montessori education and will simply become education. It aspires to create a world in which people respect all people and all facets of the natural world. We seek a world where misunderstandings do not become misconceptions. We seek a world where the universal truth is love. Our school wishes to create a higher-minded human being. We seek a future adult who is aware of the many delicacies, intricacies, and interdependencies of the world. The school desires to foster human beings that inspire others to be better human beings that seek universal truth. The school desires to create individuals that can analyze and think in a variety of situations. We aspire to create adults that seek love and use it as the ultimate source for understanding. The school employs individuals that will follow the guidelines set forth by Dr. Maria Montessori. Our staff follows the Montessori pedagogy in the truest way possible referencing Dr. Montessori's works when necessary. The philosophy of respecting the child and cultivating yourself to become a better and more knowledgeable person shall remain at the forefront for the teachers of this institution. The teacher will continually seek to improve the quality of teaching methods. Parents should commit to the entirety of any program i.e. the primary or elementary programs to achieve what Montessori called the future child. The school maintains that the parents are the ultimate source for fostering responsible human behavior. The school is not a responsible party but a supportive party to psychological development in the child. The school maintains that the head leadership role will be filled by an AMI Montessori-trained adult. The leader of the school will follow the same vision set forth for the teaching staff. The head of the school will strive to have Montessori become part of the common vernacular. The head will help support parental development yet refrain from succumbing to the whims of parents. The head will continually seek to improve the quality of education at the school. Montessori Hossegor is a private educational institution that functions outside any governmental funding. Therefore, the entity depends solely on the remittance of scholarly tuitions for its daily operation. Montessori Hossegor designates itself to offer the highest level of Montessori Education possible. The tuition enables the school to provide: A.M.I. recognized Montessori materials High-quality school supplies including arts and crafts materials Beautifully designed and child-friendly furniture Parent education events A.M.I. certified guides in each environment Organic snacks for our youngest pupils Operation of our facility along with its maintenance The school with recognition by AMF (Association Montessori de France) To facilitate the inclusion of families from the diverse background we do offer a multiple payment plans based on monthly income.

  20. Marymount Paris is an outstanding private school for children aged 2 to 14. We are the oldest international school in France, and have a rich history of inclusion and diversity, offering a warm welcome to children from a wide range of countries, cultures, and religions. Our ethos is founded on Catholic values, which underpin daily life at Marymount. Our spacious and verdant campus is beautiful. We are fortunate to have wonderful facilities: a sports hall, three gymnasia, a library, a performing arts theatre, dedicated music rooms, a bright and spacious art room with a pottery studio, a chapel, a dining hall, excellent IT and science resources, a FABLAB, and leafy gardens for outdoor learning. Our program of enriching educational visits makes the best use of the cultural treasures of Paris and the rest of France. Our international parent body offers exceptional support to those who are new to Paris. The Parent-Teacher Organization also leads enrichment and social activities throughout the year, and the seasonal goûters and BBQs are not to be missed! Children benefit from a dedicated French lesson every day and Francophones follow the French National Curriculum program of language study. We encourage children to speak in both languages as much as possible. We warmly invite you to come and see for yourself what makes Marymount such a special place for children to learn and grow. The PTO is at the center of our family community and provides a much-appreciated support network for new parents and children. Their contributions to the life of the school through fundraising, event organizing, and providing a 'soft-landing to families who arrive during the year are the social glue that underpins our unique Marymount culture. All parents are automatically included in the PTO when they enroll their children. We draw on the expert knowledge of our highly qualified teaching team to make sure our young people thrive. We set high expectations for each child in our care and provide extra challenge or support for those who need it. Our curriculum maps show how engaging units of study promote truly international education. Safeguarding children is a concept that reaches beyond child protection to incorporate the additional aims of preventing the harm of children’s health and development, ensuring children are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care. It is an umbrella term used in schools to describe the process of protecting children from abuse or neglect, preventing impairment of their health and development, and ensuring that they are growing up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care that enables children to have optimum life chances and enter adulthood successfully. We take campus security and safety seriously. We want our young people to flourish in a safe environment. All staff undergoes annual safeguarding training. In alignment with CIS/ITFCP, we hold ourselves to a high standard of effective security practices with specific attention to child protection. We adopt stringent safer recruitment practices. Candidates for employment are required to undergo rigorous background checks for every country they have worked and resided in. We also verify references and qualifications before contracts are signed. View full school

  22. The Lycée International was created in the early 1950s as the school for the children of military personnel working for SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Powers in Europe). The founding principle of the school was to combine an education in French with teaching in another language represented by the various nations forming part of NATO. The Château d’Hennemont, which had provided accommodation for both German and Allied forces during the Second World War, now took on a fresh lease of life as an international primary school – a role which it continued to fulfill until the early 1990s. When SHAPE moved to Belgium following the French withdrawal from the unified command structure of NATO in 1966, the new Headmaster, Edgar Scherer, found himself with drastically reduced pupil numbers and only two national sections left (the German and the Dutch). The school was duly reorganized and redefined as a state lycée (senior school) whose vocation was to educate the children of expatriates and also to take in local French children with the potential and motivation to become bilingual through one of the section's languages. By 1968, four other national sections (including the British Section) had been restored or created and others then followed at regular intervals. The most recent section to be created is the Chinese Section in 2016. To provide an authentic British educational program as part of the bilingual curriculum delivered within the framework of the French schooling system To inspire a love of learning and to help pupils explore and nurture their individual personality, talents, and interests To provide a safe, friendly, and supportive environment in which pupils feel valued as individuals To work collaboratively with pupils, parents, and our French colleagues to maximize each child's personal development, well-being, and achievement To help pupils to cultivate the attributes of independent, reflective and creative life-long learners and to become responsible and engaged global citizens To enable anglophone children and children learning English as an additional language, to develop high levels of academic literacy in English To enable pupils to continue their education and professional lives in the UK or another anglophone country To promote an understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity and facilitate international mobility To foster a vibrant, welcoming, and supportive community View full school

  24. The American Section, established just outside Paris over a half-century ago by Dwight D. Eisenhower, offers a unique approach to bilingual and bicultural education for children ages 4 to 18. Students learn from native English-speaking faculty in the American Section. They also follow a full French curriculum within the Lycée International de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a public institution ranked among France’s top-10 schools. With 99–100% success on the prestigious OIB diploma (baccalauréat Avec option international), our graduates go on to the world’s finest universities. Students with limited French can join Français Spécial for one year of language immersion. The Lycée unites students from 14 international sections. The result is a truly multilingual, multicultural experience, with friendships that span the globe and last a lifetime. In a word, our school is exceptional. Located outside of Paris in historic Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the Lycée International is one of France’s top-ranked public high schools and a vibrant international community. All students who study the national curriculum in French are enrolled in one of 14 national sections as well, following an academically demanding bilingual and bicultural program. And while French is the common language, every section’s language and culture is equally valued. It is as if Lycée International is a blend of many international schools. Within this framework, our Section's goal is to provide students with a genuine American educational and cultural experience. All Section classes are taught by English mother-tongue teachers who were educated in North America. The curriculum stresses academic excellence while building students' intellectual curiosity and self-confidence. Ours is a complex institution that expects a lot from its students, with considerable personal investment from students, parents, and teachers. The wide array of co-curricular activities aims at developing leadership, global awareness, and responsibility. There are some 700 students enrolled in the American Section, at three different campuses, ranging from Pre-K (MS) through twelfth grade (Terminale). Over 50 nationalities are represented in the American Section student body, though the majority of our students hold both French and American nationalities or are French citizens who spent considerable time abroad in English language schools. The common denominator is that all American Section students speak age-appropriate fluent English and are motivated to learn in a demanding bilingual and bicultural environment. We offer an academically intense program in English designed to challenge students to maximize their intellectual and creative potential. Lower and Middle School students have six hours per week of American Section Upper School students have eight hours. Starting in fourth grade (CM1), two-thirds of this time is devoted to English language and literature, and one-third to history and geography. All classes are taught in English at advanced-native level except for first and second grade Plus, which are taught in English using an ELL approach. The remainder of the academic curriculum is taught by French teachers, by programs defined by the National Ministry of Education. We do not merely teach English, we teach in English. All admitted students must possess native or near-native English language skills, and most speak both French and English fluently. The school’s Français Spécial program enrolls students who do not speak French upon admission. They receive intensive French language instruction over one year and then join mainstream French classes in their second year. The faculty of the American Section at Lycée International bring the best in American pedagogy to our international environment. Over 90% of our faculty hold advanced degrees, primarily in their field of instruction. In keeping with our statutes, all American Section faculty have degrees from North American universities, are experienced educators, and are citizens of either the United States or Canada. American Section faculty are dedicated to helping students reach their highest personal and academic potential, both inside and outside the classroom. Be it during a history lesson, an advisory session, or co-curricular activity, they go above and beyond, supporting students, encouraging their leadership skills, and nurturing a deep-rooted sense of responsibility to others. We are proud of our low turnover. The average tenure of the Section's faculty and staff is over 11 years, strengthening the stability and institutional history of our school. View full school
