International School of Montpellier

The school is a private bilingual international school located in Saint-Clément-de-Rivière, about 10 minutes north of Montpellier. The campus sits in a park-like setting and serves children from age 2 through CM2. The school has expanded facilities, including a courtyard extension, a new lab and a new activity room, with a sports field planned in the near future. The bilingual program follows the French and British national curricula and aims to develop academic, artistic and athletic skills within a caring environment. Small class sizes, around 15 students per class, support individualized learning.

A sports field is planned as part of campus development. The school emphasizes athletic skills as part of its pedagogy and provides spaces such as a new activity room to support physical education and extracurricular activities. The courtyard extension and new lab contribute to facilities that underpin sports and other active programs. Overall, the campus design supports PE and athletics alongside academic and creative activities.

Bilingual education in English and French is provided, aligned with both the French national education curriculum and the English-language program. Classes are small, about 15 students per class, enabling individualized support. From First Year in GS onward, English is integrated and bilingual exchanges occur between students of different nationalities, with two languages and full immersion using native French and native English teachers. The program covers core subjects in French and English, including reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, science, geography and IT, and prepares students for Cambridge assessments (Starters, Movers, Flyers). The Early Learning Goals of English education and the French curriculum underpin the learning path, with regular progress summaries and end-of-period reports. Field trips are offered from First Year and up to broaden learning beyond the classroom.

The school fosters artistic and athletic development as part of its pedagogy, encouraging intellectual, artistic and athletic skills. Field trips are offered each period starting from First Year to extend learning beyond the classroom. Workshops, group work and tutoring provide additional activities and opportunities for hands-on learning. The contemporary campus includes a new activity room and a courtyard extension to support diverse activities beyond core lessons.
