INTRODUCTION
Lycée International Montessori is the largest Montessori school in France. It is a private school, pre-kindergarten through grade 12 that offers an international educational program to students of all nationalities. It is located 20 km to the west from Paris.
CURRICULUM
The Lower school (nursery, primary-5) offers a bilingual Montessori education with an English teacher in the morning and a French teacher in the afternoon. All teachers are Montessori trained. The classes are small and we use a style of teaching where each child is in control of his own learning process.
The Middle and Upper schools propose a bilingual program of instruction in French and English within the French national curriculum. Students can study history, language and literature in English (six to eight hours a week by teachers whose mother tongue is English), as well as other languages (Spanish and Chinese).

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
The school makes every effort to integrate new students and every year welcomes children who speak neither English nor French. Tailor-made (even one-to-one) classes for non French speaking students, enabling them to master French (or English) very quickly, without ever experiencing a feeling of failure.
Many sports and a range of artistic activities. Highly qualified teachers always ready to listen to the students. Parents are encouraged to take part in school life.
Adrien d Esclaibes, the headmaster, is a Harvard Graduate (MCRP 78).
