Esclaibes International School Marseille offers a bilingual, Montessori-inspired education for ages 0 to 16 at a dedicated Marseille 12e campus. The creche (0–3) uses Montessori Nido environments, while bilingual kindergarten and primary years (CP to CM2) run with two teachers per class in French and English, 18 pupils per class, and concrete, active learning aligned with official curricula. Since September 2024, the Innovative International Middle School serves 6e to 3e in small multi-age classes of 18, with mornings focused on core subjects and afternoons offering pathways in languages, arts and sports, all under a project-based, debate- and experiment-rich approach that prepares students for the Brevet. Facilities include bright rooms, motor-skills areas and a large private courtyard, with lunch options and a protective, family-friendly environment. Extracurriculars span culture, sport and charitable action, including music, art and cooking workshops, fundraising for Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque and after-school bilingual workshops for families and communities.
