This is not the greatest school. The standards of academics are very low. The school board doesn't…read morecare about the education of the existing students, just about accepting more and more new students. The class sizes have become much bigger than was promised, and there aren't enough classrooms or laptops for the abundance of students. Also, only the grade 6 and 7 students get to really eat lunch in the lunch room, as grade 8 and 9 are not allowed in until 12:45 and by then all the food has been eaten by the younger kids (there is no kitchen in the school). The sports and ECAs are also pretty dismal. Teachers don't use textbooks at all. There also isn't much communication with the parents, and the school nurse is never there. There are also discipline issues and behavioural issues. There are rumours that the kids in the primary are reading and doing maths that is two years behind other schools. For the amount of money we pay, students don't get a lot of things. You have to buy your own school supplies, laptop, school meals (often students spend 100 euros in two months on cold, overpriced and unhealthy garbage meals such as paninis and donuts), as well as a 75 euro calculator (all of which the school should be providing for the extortianate amount of money we pay). As well as all of this, the outdoor space is pathetic and crowded. The school doesn't take it's students out to a park like it used to. The lockers are also tiny and do not fit the many, MANY notebooks students are forced to buy. The sports facilities are non existant. Students have to travel one hour by bus once a week for 1 hour of PE, and then one hour back. They are assessed on their essay writing skills for sports rather than physical activity. However, students do say that the pastoral care is good and that most staff are commited to wellbeing. Most students make good friends, and the diploma programme is supposed to be quite good. Their design department is EXCELLENT (teachers are very committed). Overall, this school is alright if you are looking for just a short stay in Paris, as the students are used to new people and they can make friends rapidly. However, if you are looking for something more academically rigorous, there are better schools in and around Paris. Consider these points before enrolling your child in the International School of Paris (particularly the Primary and Middle schools).

This is hands-down, the best school you will find, in all the western suburbs of Paris. Perhaps the…read morebest, even including Paris. My daughter started here at age 4, and what the French call moyenne section (it's a year before kindergarten). Upon arrival, she could not count to more than 29 in English and she spoke not one word, a French. She knew her alphabet, but didn't know all the sounds of the alphabet in English. After 1 year at the school before she started kindergarten/Grandesection, my daughter could read English and when I say, read English, I mean very complicated sentences not just " Jack Sat or the rat" she was doing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and she could count to 100 in both French & English. The school has a Wednesday program for English and it also has evening programs where you can leave your child there until 6:30 PM/ 18h30 and choose the language the child is exposed to during the evening program. During my daughter's second year, I chose to put her in the evening program so she could have more exposure to French.. she did not attend the Wenesday program as it's for English and she doesn't need any English. She attended the school four days a week and she had 20 hours of English instruction and 18 hours a French instruction per week. At the start of her second year in September she really couldn't speak much French and I was a bit disappointed but with the addition of the evening program, she was speaking French by March. In the school starting at age 5, you can sign your child up for pony they go from 11 AM to 16h twice a month to do pony. They also go on a ski trip all together for six days in the alps without their parents, and they can go at age 4, and at age 5. At age 6 they go elsewhere, sometimes to the sea where they can swim and go boating. They have art exhibits that exhibit the children's artwork.. and like all Montessori schools there is an emphasis on emotional and social development on top of quite a rigorous in my opinion, academic program. It should be noted that at the age of four and five a child is either in the French section or in the English section. This is because they need to learn to read and one language first. My daughter was in the English section. That's why she got 20 hours of English instruction. But she also had the opportunity to have 18 hours in French instruction. Children in the French section had 20 hours a French instruction and they could have 18 hours of English instruction if they put their child in the evening program and additional 2 1/2 hours on Wednesday morning. Try to find any other school where you can have that much English instruction. If you speak French at home and you really want your child to be in the English section on top of an English speaking evening program & in an English speaking Wednesday program then you could have 32 hours of English instruction per week. Other schools in the area will tell you, that they are bilingual and at best they'll give you maybe 45 minutes a day for four days. I think it's not enough. Finally, I will say., there are other schools that also called themselves a bilingual Montessori program in Versailles and they even have the same name as this school but in fact they're not at all related to the school. If you want to attend the school, make sure you talk to Veronique who is the head Director and make sure that you're at the school located at the train station of gare de Montreuil. My daughter is now in first grade at the school with a French call CP and what this school calls junior section. And she is absolutely beyond happy. The teachers of the kindest ever I have absolutely no worries. With them. And if I ever need something they are the first to help me even in my every day life outside of school with my daughter. Honestly you can't get better than the school and if anyone tells you differently, I strongly suggest you don't believe them. The have personalities and issues!

For having visited with a group, I can say it promises to be a achievement reflecting the expectations of students and teachers in many areas: rooms manual working or Visual Arts ( one between 2 classes), 2 courts, including one on the roof, equipment electronics and informatics, dining room school, room EPS independent of the courtyard With, of course, the mandatory equipment which are very useful (ex: lift), the number of children with fracture is important on a school. A small flat: too small size of the infirmary. A detail: on one side openings overlook the most that is calm as it is the graveyard of Levallois.
