École des Roches is an international co-educational boarding school set across a 50-hectare countryside campus in Normandy, France, located an hour from Paris by train. Catering to a multinational student body of 240 pupils, the school maintains a 4:1 student-to-teacher ratio to ensure personalized guidance.

The school is particularly known for its specialized aviation program, where students can actively pursue pilot training directly alongside their academic studies. On-site facilities support over 30 sports and creative activities, including an equestrian center, golf course, tennis courts, and robotics labs. Boarding life centers around six historic houses, where dedicated house parents mentor students, fostering independence, cultural exchange, and multilingual fluency in a community representing over 50 nationalities.
