Living School is a private, innovative preschool, primary, and elementary school in Paris. Caroline Sost is the founder and director. The school places well-being and life skills at the heart of its pedagogy. The curriculum emphasizes eco-citizenship, with students leading annual 'projects for the planet' that engage in activities such as sponsorship of endangered species, reforestation, tree planting in France, aid to homeless people, and the creation of awareness-raising songs and films. It operates from two sites near Parc des Buttes Chaumont in the 19th arrondissement of Paris: the main preschool/primary campus at 6 Rue Georges Auric and a preschool site at 6 Allée Darius Milhaud, while CM1/CM2 and collège are housed at 93 Bis Rue Manin.
Well-being and life skills are central to Living School's pedagogy. The eco-citizenship program invites students to lead projects for the planet each year, with weekly outdoor classes at Parc des Buttes Chaumont. The canteen is organic, local, and seasonal, with logistics supported by Marmites Volantes by cargo bike, and parents participate in Living School life, including receiving bio baskets and taking part in Living Troc (a clothes swap). Vacation Club operates during school holidays for children aged 3 to 10, focusing on eco-citizenship, English, and the arts. The school also promotes multilingual and planet-focused activities such as the 'All Children in the World are Talented, ALL!' initiative, which includes a multilingual activity kit and Planetary Week participation.
Parents are true partners with the school. They are welcome in the classroom every morning. The school meets with parents regularly and offers savoir-être workshops to help families engage in their children's education more fully.
