French and English are used as languages of instruction and daily life; in the Toddler Community, one French-speaking and one English-speaking teacher greet children each morning; in the 3 to 6 year old program, one French-speaking AMI Montessori-trained teacher and one Anglophone AMI Montessori-trained teacher lead the class; language development includes writing and reading in French and English, with materials including the moveable alphabet, French cursive, and English print.
Two teachers per class, one speaks only French and the other speaks only English.
Bilingual classrooms with daily instruction in French and English; students from more than 20 nationalities communicate across all disciplines, and many students quickly master a third and fourth language.
The Bilingual Montessori School of Paris - Orsay Campus, established in 1972, provides a co-educational environment for children aged 2 to 12. Located southwest of the capital near the Paris-Saclay innovation hub, the school operates out of a residential facility featuring a private garden used for nature-based activities and daily play. The curriculum follows the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) standards, utilizing specialized tactile materials to teach mathematics, language, and practical life skills. A unique feature of the Orsay campus is its 50/50 bilingual immersion model; each classroom is staffed by two full-time teachers—one a native English speaker and the other a native French speaker—allowing children to acquire both languages through daily interaction rather than formal lessons. The school is known for its multi-age classrooms, where older students mentor younger peers. Facilities include specific areas for the "Maison des Enfants" (ages 3-6) and a dedicated Primary section for students up to age 12.
