In 1975 Lady Anne Henderson-Stewart founded the bilingual kindergarten. In 1983 La Petite École Française in London for children of all nationalities was established; this London-based school, approved by the Ministry of Education, is fully integrated into the French education system. In 1999 Sir David Henderson-Stewart, owner of the Little French School in London, was awarded the title Knight in the Order of Academic Palms for his contribution to spreading French culture in Great Britain. Lady Anne opened the Petite École Bilingue – Stewart International School in Paris in 1995 with Mrs Véronique Store, our current Academic Director. The school is led by Mrs Nathalie Sidorenko.
