From the outside, it does appear gothic in the style of architecture with wrought-iron fencing surrounding the main buildings.

The professors are qualified and well known.

This was my jam on our trip to Paris! I couldn't wait to visit Sorbonne and get into the Pantheon…read more As a social studies teacher, I do an entire unit on the Enlightenment period, my favorite period in history, pulling the population out of the darkness of superstition and traditions into the LIGHT of political theories and sciences. I couldn't wait to see my heroes Voltaire and Rousseau's final resting place as well as Victor Hugo and Marie Curie. We took a lengthy walk around the Sorbonne neighborhood..........absolutely beautiful! The entry fee for the Pantheon was 13.00 I think. Well worth the visit. The first floor is devoted to epic artwork and amazing statues. Descend into the catacombs to visit the internment of France's most influential thinkers and revolutionary heroes. Honestly, it was a pretty emotional experience for me. This was a 10 star event that should not be missed on any trip to Paris. I could do this 100 times and love every minute.

Classes seem to have a big jump between A1 and A2 (be aware of this if being taken for credit as you may waste your summer and money). You can get away with using chatGPT and google translate through the entire program. The program also goes so fast and while having excursions there's not much you'll really be able to say you learned at the end of the program. If you just want the credit and don't really care to learn French this might not be a bad place. Overall be very careful here if attending as an adult or if thinking about sending your child here for a summer program.

I applied to the school on 26 November 2024. On 6 December I cancelled the application for my…read moredaughter at the school for several reasons. My daughter had just been offered a place in another school but also EJM had wrongly informed me about children coming from a purely British education system rather than an international one being welcome but I later found out this was not the case so EJM was no longer a viable option. The fee was paid 7 working days earlier. It had not been used to assess my daughter's application as the assessment was scheduled to take place a few months later. On 6 December the member of staff I spoke to told me that she could not see why I would not be refunded as it had only been 7 working days and no one had looked at the application. She also went on to explain why the school sometimes refunded families (job relocation, hardship etc..) and was very reassuring. The finance lady I had to deal with however refused. She is absolutely awful. She totally denied what her colleague had said. She could not see that the school should never have accepted my daughter's application in the first place as she had not followed an international education. SO PLEASE BE AWARE: The school is inconsistent and unprofessional. They say one thing and the opposite and do not feel any kind of conscience about it. They just want to keep the application fee and they don't care about wasting your time. They are inconsistent and immoral.

We are new to EJM. My 10 year old son is in Adaptation program which is designed for non-French…read morespeaking children to gently be introduced to French. All children in the class (mixed 4th/5th - 18 kids total) speak basic English, although they come from many different countries. The courses are all taught in French (math, PE, art, etc) except for English. English literacy is required for entrance into EJM, French is not. My son has had a very easy transition, as have his peers (as I've asked the kids and their parents if they were happy and all uniformly said they loved the school). He says he prefers this to his previous school in the US. There are kids from Korea, Spain, England, China, Russia, Japan and the US in his class. Probably more but I am not sure. The school does a nice job of outreach to various groups who speak different languages and have translators in about 20 languages for parents (not in classroom). They will spend time visiting various museums, à pâtisserie, chocolaterie and taking a boat trip down the Seine for their field trips. What could be better? And our primary teacher is really great and very kind. My only complaint is that the math level is extremely easy for their year, as is the vocabulary and spelling (English). Of course, this is because many kids are still learning English, but it's frustrating for me. I believe they would like the children to have a relatively easy transition and then the following years they become quite rigorous. This school is known for its academic rigor, but for the Adaptation, it's quite easy. Additionally, it's quite hard to integrate with the local French families as the Adaptation class is largely segregated for this first year. Once they complete the year, they enter the main school which is filled with French kids who are learning English. I will say that a friend with a younger child (5 years) IS having a bit more of a challenge in transitioning to an all French language class. But I'm sure he will be fine in a few weeks. It's still quite early and immersion is the only way to learn a language. I find the staff, parents and teachers all to be quite pleasant and welcoming. At this point, I would recommend the school to anyone moving to Paris with their kids.
