NDIHS supports social and emotional learning through a mission that promotes compassion for others, intercultural understanding, respect for diverse viewpoints, and personal and social responsibility. A defined student profile emphasizes Compassionate & Kind; Curious & Open-minded; Reflective & Self-aware; Autonomous & Responsible; Integrity-driven; Conscientious & Committed; Humble & Grateful; and Respectful of Self, Others & Environment. The curricular goals emphasize mindfulness, empathy, self-reflection, and intercultural thinking, and aim to develop English proficiency and intercultural communication for success in postsecondary studies.
The program uses an American curriculum held in English and provides English-language instruction; non-French speakers have opportunities to learn the French language and culture while studying in France.
A nurse staffs the infirmary to address health needs; minor injuries and illnesses are treated on-site and more serious issues may require physician assessment with parental/host family notification. The nurse arranges doctor visits as needed and the school communicates with families about serious injuries or illnesses. The mission also promotes well-being through mindfulness, empathy, self-reflection, and balance as part of intercultural understanding.
Ill dormitory students report to the infirmary after first checking in with the dormitory director or teacher; day students and host-family students should not attend school when ill. If a host student is sick, the welfare of others requires the student to stay home. Parents/host families must notify Notre Dame International High School of health changes that may affect performance, and the school coordinates emergency information as needed.
Notre Dame International High School is a day and boarding private program in the Paris region that delivers a United States high school diploma through an American curriculum taught in English. The school welcomes students aged 15 to 18 and offers bilingual English–French faculty, with English-language courses across Science, Mathematics, Language Arts, Social Science and Foreign Language. All other courses are taught in English by the American program, while French language courses for non-native speakers are run by Notre-Dame Les Oiseaux in French, alongside additional French, Art and Physical Education taught in French. Daily French language study helps international students integrate. The campus on the Notre-Dame Les Oiseaux site covers 14 hectares shared with French peers and features modern libraries, science and computer labs, and a dormitory wing. On the grounds are sports facilities, clubs and activities, including Model UN, ECO CLUB Potager and programs, all encouraging leadership and intercultural collaboration.
