Isabelle Fiquet founded Greenfield, a bilingual English-French school in Lyon, while she was still a student. She aimed to create a bilingual school in Lyon offering early French-English instruction, tailored for children, their pace and development, in a traditional family-like setting where children learn to love school from age 2. The school emphasizes values that support intellectual, cultural and relational development: respect, self-esteem, tolerance and openness. Since 1988, Greenfield Lyon has remained faithful to this philosophy.
Most of the teaching staff and personnel have worked on the school project in both French and English for more than 15 years. This continuity is an asset to the community. The teachers know and respect one another and coordinate their programs each year in a collaborative manner to enrich teaching with projects and cross-disciplinary experiences across different subjects and classes.
École Greenfield is a private Franco-English bilingual nursery and elementary school in Lyon, located in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or, about ten minutes from Place Bellecour. It welcomes children from age 2 to 11 and offers enrollment for 2026/27. The school provides daily instruction in French and English with native English-speaking teachers and French teachers collaborating across languages. The preschool aims to foster a love of learning and the development of each child's personality, while the elementary program prioritises mastery of French and early mathematics. The bilingual program uses half-day blocks in French and English on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; the school day runs roughly 9:00–16:30 in maternelle and 8:30–16:30 in élémentaire. CM1 and CM2 are under State contract, guaranteeing progression to 6e. Most staff have more than 15 years' experience, supporting continuity and cross-language collaboration through projects. The founder, Isabelle Fiquet, established Greenfield in 1988 to offer early bilingual education in a family-like setting, emphasizing respect, self-esteem, tolerance and openness. Cambridge Primary is integrated, with Movers and Flyers exams for CE2/CM2 and a high success rate.
