The Bilingual Montessori School of Paris is France's oldest bilingual Montessori institution. Founded in 1972, it operates across several Paris campuses (Orsay, George V, Ranelagh, Babylone) and is AMI- and AMF-accredited. Serving ages 2 to 12, it follows a Montessori framework across three age groups: Toddler Community (2–3), Children's House (3–6), and Elementary (6–12). In the Toddler Community, a French-speaking and an English-speaking teacher support language development and independence. In Children's House, bilingual instruction fosters an absorbent mind, with practical life, sensorial activities, and language enriched by geography, biology, art, and music. The Elementary Class uses Montessori pedagogy with two full-time teachers, one English-speaking and one French-speaking, aligned to French Ministry cycles 2 and 3. The school emphasizes a multicultural, peaceful environment, with a daily English program and native-speaking instructors. Extracurriculars include Pari-Grandir, music, art, yoga, and garden activities across campuses, plus an English Club and cultural-artistic programs. A welcoming community.
