The school runs Holiday Workshops that are week-long bilingual courses open to all, including those who don't attend our schools. These hands-on language courses include object making, cooking workshops, and gardening. The Little Artist sessions explore drawing, painting, modeling, and crafting, and other workshops feature art- and culture-themed activities such as The Great Imagination Journey, which includes cuisine, crafts, dance, and music from different countries.
The school offers Wednesday Workshops that provide bilingual immersion in French and English through a range of cultural activities. English-language activities and tutoring reinforce bilingualism, and the program is designed to help students master both languages. Holiday Workshops explore world cultures with themes such as celebrations around the world, Lunar New Year, Chinese New Year, and other cultural topics; sessions are open to non-enrolled children.
Wednesday Workshops bring children together for bilingual activities in two languages, with groups meeting in the morning and afternoon and a lunch break; Daycare is available until 6 p.m. for schedules that suit families. Holiday Workshops also offer time for group, social activities around a shared theme with open registration for non-students.
Well-being is central to Esclaibes' Montessori-inspired pedagogy. The approach emphasizes student happiness, with an active teaching style, and a focus on individual and collective fulfillment within a meticulous and caring learning environment.
Esclaibes International Schools is a bilingual, Montessori-inspired network in France for ages 0 to 16. The curriculum combines Montessori pedagogy with a French curriculum and Cambridge IGCSE preparation, with daily learning in two languages taught by international teachers. The schools serve a global student community and accommodate more than 40 nationalities across six campuses in Paris (8th, 15th and 16th arrondissements), Clichy, and Marseille (12th and 7th). A Montessori preschool program is offered in Paris 16 and Paris 8, with warm, multilingual environments and hands-on learning. Cambridge exam preparation forms part of the program, supporting students through primary and early secondary years. Extra opportunities include Wednesday Workshops and Holiday Workshops, as well as Little Artist sessions and other arts- and culture-themed activities such as The Great Imagination Journey. Facilities feature large classrooms, private courtyards, outdoor playgrounds and spaces designed to support bilingual immersion and international education across these campuses today.
