Primary at ISM Marseille uses a weekly bilingual model with half the week in English and half in French, with two teachers per class (one Anglophone and one Francophone) and an assistant for the youngest students. Specialists in art, yoga, dance, music and theatre are bilingual. The curriculum combines Education Nationale and Cambridge programs and is interdisciplinary, linking subjects for a coherent learning experience. Upper School follows Cambridge IGCSE in Years 10-11 and the IB Diploma Programme in Years 12-13, with an International Section (IGCSE/IB) and a French Section, and class sizes in the middle school are limited.
The Arts page describes a Creative Arts in English Leisure Club offering afterschool activities on Wednesdays for children aged 4-7 and 7-10. Activities include theatre, dance, music, and arts and crafts, conducted in English in a total-immersion, bilingual environment, with instructors who are native or fully bilingual.
International School of Marseille (ISM) is part of the IBS group, offering a bilingual English-French education for ages 2 to 18. The curriculum combines Education Nationale and Cambridge curricula, with English and French instruction across all levels. In Nursery, language learning is embedded in activities with native-language teachers. Primary runs a bilingual immersion program: the week is split equally between English and French, and every pupil has two teachers (one Anglophone, one Francophone). Upper School provides two tracks: the International Section follows Cambridge IGCSE in Years 10–11 and the IB Diploma Programme in Years 12–13; the French Section follows the National French Education programme with the Brevet and French Baccalaureat. The Marseille campus is complemented by the Aix-en-Provence campus, on a five-hectare estate with a two-story Academic Building, a Sports Complex, a 300-seat amphitheatre, four tennis courts, a pool and outdoor fields. The school supports mobility for international higher education.
