Languages taught: French and English. The network comprises ten bilingual French-English schools serving children from ages 2.5 to 11.
The school has a true bilingual immersion in French and English. In every class, two educators (one francophone and one anglophone) accompany the children, integrating the languages into learning and daily life.
The immersion is reinforced by exploring anglophone culture (holidays and traditions). From age 6, the acquisition of oral language is complemented by written language.
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.
