Well-being and life skills ('savoir-être') form the heart of Living School's pedagogy. Teachers are specially trained to help children build confidence, learn to assert themselves, and cultivate positive relationships with others. Joy and pleasure drive learning, and projects and activities are designed to foster motivation rather than pressure. Parents are true partners; they are welcome in the classroom, and savoir-être workshops are run with families to support learning at home. English is taught through immersion, beginning in preschool, with an active pedagogy that helps children learn English with joy and ease.

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.
