International School Montessori Jeunes Pousses offers a bilingual Montessori education in Paris for children from 20 months to 12 years. The program follows Maria Montessori's philosophy, guiding children to explore, reflect and discover at their own pace, with materials supporting reading, writing, mathematics, geometry, geography, science and arts. In the early years, mixed-age groups are supported by two educators per class, one French-speaking and one English-speaking, with full-time English-speaking assistants to reinforce language immersion. The school's 280-square-metre premises are arranged as three classrooms and two shared gardens, prioritizing an orderly, welcoming environment and garden-based learning. A strong emphasis on ecology runs through the curriculum: a vegetable garden, composting and waste sorting, and partnerships for permaculture and beehives; meals emphasize organic ingredients where possible. The setting offers pony-riding sessions, gym activities, and cultural visits, with English-language components in civics and media literacy for older students, and daily garden sessions in English.
