Montessori 21 is a network of Montessori schools. Its member schools are affiliated with Montessori France and Montessori Internationale, and Montessori 21 holds ESUS accreditation (Entreprise Solidaire d'Utilité Sociale).
Montessori 21 Bilingual Schools is a network of ten Montessori campuses across France, plus a college with an adapted timetable. In each class two educators (one Francophone, one Anglophone) guide children, embedding English and French in learning. Classes are mixed-age, about 25–26 pupils, with AMI-trained staff, ensuring a bilingual immersion. From ages 2–6 the emphasis is on oral language; from age 6 written language arises; by age 9, English is used to teach subjects such as history and science. Each morning includes a 2.5–3 hour block of uninterrupted independent work, with Montessori materials organized by learning area. Progress is assessed twice a year through reviews covering French National Education program and emotional development. The network promotes autonomy, collaboration, wellbeing, and celebrates anglophone culture through traditions. Campuses include Aubervilliers-Villette, Paris-Jaurès, Nanterre, Courbevoie, Châtenay-Malabry, Marseille, Pau, Pantin Moderato, Plessis-Robinson, and Chaville. Extracurriculars include Afterschool programs, holiday camps, and Discovery Wednesdays for families.
