Founded in 1972, The Bilingual Montessori School of Paris is an international, multicultural, bilingual school guided by Montessori principles to nurture children's full development in a peaceful, respectful environment. It is described as the oldest bilingual Montessori school in France. The school operates across multiple campuses in Paris, including Orsay, George V, Ranelagh, and Babylone. It is AMI- and AMF-accredited.
The school maintains an international environment open to multicultural exchange and diversity. Pari-Grandir provides bilingual after-school and vacation activities (established in 2011), with native English- and French-speaking staff, and activities run after school, on Wednesdays, and during vacations. Families receive a weekly schedule by email and, every two months, a secure link to view memories of the past period. Meals are provided by Ekilibre and the day includes garden outings and a range of cultural and artistic activities.
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.
