The school was founded by Nadia Hamidi, who serves as director, with Gérald Maradan as co-founder, managing partner and main investor. The school benefits from more than 20 years of Montessori experience under AMI-trained educators on the team. The building is a Belle Epoque mansion dating from 1900 that has been renovated for childcare to provide a safe and inspiring environment. It is a member school of the Montessori France Association and the International Montessori Association, and a 2021 listing on the site confirms its presence.

École Montessori Internationale de Nice is an international Montessori school in France for ages 2 to 12. It teaches Montessori pedagogy across three age-based levels: The Children's Community (2–3), The Children's House (3–6), and The Elementary School (6–12). Each classroom is co-taught by two teachers, one English-speaking and one French-speaking, within a 100% bilingual framework. Cambridge English begins at age seven with an optional Cambridge certificate. All teachers are AMI graduates, and the school is a member of the Montessori France Association and the International Montessori Association. The Elementary School covers five great stories—The Creation of the Earth; Life of animals and plants; Human life; Language; Mathematics and Science—and extends geography, biology and ecology beyond the national curriculum. The living environment is a Belle Époque mansion (1900) with 1,500 m² of outdoor space supporting motor, sensory and cognitive development. Inclusive Class welcomes children with neurodevelopmental differences, staffed by AMI educators.
