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.
