French and English are taught at parity across the curriculum, with equivalence of language teaching as a core principle. Cambridge English exam preparation is part of the curriculum, and primary education uses American textbooks to deepen English proficiency. The network has joined the IB network to strengthen its international dimension. Programs are offered from preschool through secondary on select campuses, including Marseille 12 (nursery to secondary) and other campuses offering preschool to elementary levels.
French-English bilingualism is central to teaching across Esclaibes International Schools in Paris, Clichy and Marseille. For each cycle two classes are dedicated to each language: one for English and one for French; in kindergarten the environment features French-speaking teachers on one side and English-speaking educators on the other, and the same structure continues in elementary school. This structure provides an equal distribution of teaching hours in both languages. Cambridge exam preparation is part of the program, and primary pupils train with American textbooks to deepen English proficiency.
Language immersion is achieved through the two-language class structure, with total immersion in French and English. In kindergarten, the classroom arrangement includes English-speaking and French-speaking teachers, and the same organization applies in elementary school. Cambridge exam preparation is integrated, and American textbooks are used to support English proficiency.
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.
