The small class size enables the school to accommodate many educational backgrounds and can be tailored in some circumstances to give extra support if necessary, including varying academic levels. Decisions about the admission of children with special educational needs are taken by the Principal based on the extent to which the school is able to meet the student's needs. Individual assessments are often required, and the school may request a recent Educational Psychologist's report to ensure that the school can meet the student's needs. Founded in 1990, Malherbe International School is a bilingual school located in the Western suburbs of Paris.
Malherbe International School (MIS) is a bilingual day school in Le Vésinet, France, teaching children from age 2 to 13. Nursery and Pre-school follow Montessori methods, while Primary education is based on the English National Curriculum, with four days per week of English instruction and two to three half-days of French, plus a French immersion option for language learners. The curriculum also includes the British Curriculum, Cambridge IGCSE, and French Curriculum, with a strong emphasis on French language development. The main site is housed in a restored 19th-century residence, with a dedicated library, computer room, and music room; in 2019 the Garden School expansion added a large garden, a preschool library, and wheelchair accessibility. MIS prepares pupils to transfer to home schools or Paris-area middle schools. Features include a Spanish section added in 2013, a bilingual environment, and after-school clubs (STEM, drama, music, languages) that extend learning beyond the classroom.
