Notre-Dame Les Oiseaux was established in 1929 at the Château de Verneuil by the Congregation of Notre Dame. The Château's history dates to the 16th century and includes ownership by French noble families; Alexis de Tocqueville spent his adolescence there, and François-René de Chateaubriand was welcomed there while under Tocqueville ownership. In 1929 the Château was purchased by the Congregation of Notre Dame, and the Church itself is recognized as a historical monument. Notre-Dame International High School was developed on the Notre-Dame Les Oiseaux campus as an American school in France, making the campus international.
NDIHS hosts orientation on the first day to help new students adjust to the environment. Graduation ceremonies are a regular feature, with memories shared in photos from multiple years. The school offers on-campus clubs and social activities, including Model UN, choir, and a range of arts and sports clubs, and these activities involve collaboration with French peers. Off-campus excursions and trips to major Parisian sites, such as the Louvre and Musee d'Orsay, are part of the school calendar.
