École Montessori Internationale Les Colibris is a bilingual Montessori school in Sophia Antipolis, within the Brague National Park. The school serves children from age 2 to 15, offering a continuous program that uses Montessori pedagogy across all ages with the same dedicated teachers. Founded in 2009, it moved to larger facilities in 2015: 1,200 m2 of indoor space and 3,000 m2 of outdoor grounds. The school is accredited by AMF (Association Montessori France) and ISMM (Institut Supérieur Maria Montessori), one of fourteen Montessori schools in France with accreditation. In 2020, it opened an International Montessori Middle School for ages 12–15, with a Thorenc pedagogical farm partnership providing full-board secondary education. The program emphasizes outdoor learning and a strong connection with nature, supported by bilingual French-English activity and a suite of sport, culture and outings. The Colibris Kids Club runs holiday programs for ages 2–12.
