Enrollment process and Fees: There are few places left for September 2024 in Primary and Secondary School. To enroll, please do the following: 1. Fill out the pre-enrollment form giving special attention to the “Motivation” section, which will help us to get to know you better. You will then receive our fees and a confirmation email with a code allowing you to make further modifications if needed. 2. Upon receipt of your pre-registration, you will receive an email with a video of our Open House to watch. 3. Once you watched the video, we ask families with deep interest to confirm motivations by email. 4. The team will meet - depending on the number of places available - families with motivations aligned with our pedagogy. An interview takes place at the school with the parents and the child. 5. If the interview is positive for you and for us, we will send you a registration file. 6. Enrollment is considered final upon receipt of the complete enrollment application and deposit. There are many of you attempting to reach us, and the entire team is dedicated to teaching and to academic activity. We cannot take all calls. Note: if your family annual income is less than €30,000 you are eligible for a grant, within the limits of available funds. Simply follow the registration process described above, and explain that you meet the grant eligibility criteria.
Grant eligibility exists for families with an annual income under €30,000, within the limits of available funds.
Living School is a private preschool, primary, and secondary school in Paris with a France affiliation. It offers Cambridge Curriculum for Primary and Secondary levels alongside a French Curriculum, serving ages 2 to 15. The school operates from two campuses near Parc des Buttes Chaumont: the main Georges Auric site and the Darius Milhaud site; CM1/CM2 and collège are at 93 Bis Rue Manin. Bilingual education begins in kindergarten with 50% English instruction through total immersion, supported by native English-speaking teachers for at least half the day. Curricula align with CEFR standards and Cambridge frameworks, and pedagogy emphasizes savoir-être and eco-citizenship to support holistic development. Students lead annual projects for the planet—sponsoring endangered species, reforestation, tree planting, aid to the homeless, and creating awareness songs and films. Green facilities use hemp insulation, organic paint, cork insulation, natural linoleum, and low-energy lighting; recess occurs in Parc des Buttes Chaumont under supervision.
