From its conception in 2019, Union School aimed to create a bilingual nursery and primary school in the heart of Paris's 16th arrondissement. It opened its doors in 2022. The project was born from enthusiasm, passion and international professionalism to provide bilingual education in French and English. Its governance includes a Board of Experts drawn from researchers and practitioners in bilingualism and related fields.
The school works closely with parents, inviting their input to inform pedagogy and daily life. It teaches a bilingual program that follows both the French national curriculum and the English National Curriculum, enabling cross-course learning. The Union School Academy offers a wide range of activities on Wednesday afternoons for both Union School pupils and external children. There is emphasis on solidarity and eco-responsibility, with a Board of Experts enriching the school's pedagogy.
Union School Paris is a bilingual nursery and primary school for children aged 2 to 11, located in the 16th arrondissement. The school follows a bilingual double curriculum, combining the French Programme de l'Éducation Nationale with the English National Curriculum, with classes of about 20 pupils. Each class is taught by two teachers, one native English speaker and one native French speaker. Cognitive sciences are integrated into pedagogy, and Wednesday afternoons feature a wide range of activities taught in English. The campus covers 1,200 square metres and includes nine classrooms, two playgrounds, a gymnasium, a vegetable garden and a library that becomes a canteen at mealtimes. Meals are locally sourced, ethical and organic; recycling and composting reduce plastic in daily life. Extracurriculars include chess, coding, drama, singing and sports, with theatre collaborations and English-language camps. A Board of Experts guides pedagogy with researchers and practitioners in bilingualism and related fields.
