Concordia School Paris is a Franco-English school open to the world, where children evolve naturally in two languages and two cultures. It uses methodologies imported from around the world and meets the standards of the world's great capitals in the heart of Paris. Aurore Grierson founded Concordia School Paris and assembled an international team of French and English teachers, psychologists, and education professionals. The program blends a rigorous curriculum following both the French and English national curricula and develops transversal skills such as creativity, leadership, independence, critical thinking, public speaking, and teamwork. The school operates on two campuses in the 16th arrondissement: Maternelle at 41, avenue de la Grande Armée and Primary/Collège at 7, rue Cimarosa.
