École M is a private, secular nursery school that follows the French Education Nationale curriculum and offers bilingual French-English teaching.
Our teaching team is trained in active pedagogies such as Montessori to enable the development of each child's potential, whatever his or her tastes, interests and pace.
Our schools are located in Paris intra-muros (5th, 11th, 14th, 15th, 19th and 20th) and in Clichy-Levallois.
Financial assistance can be requested from the Fondation 2000 jours to finance part of the tuition fees. The Foundation promotes access to schooling for students from modest and disadvantaged backgrounds, by awarding financial aid to cover tuition fees.

Let's get to know each other, without obligation and in less than 3 minutes.
Take a tour of the school with your child and the headmistress: discover the classrooms and the teaching staff, and ask any questions you may have.
We work in reciprocal immersion, meaning that in each class we have a native French-speaking teacher and a native English-speaking teacher who are with the children all day. The children experience their kindergarten in French and English: depending on which teacher is leading an activity, it will take place in her language.
We follow the French national education program to enable children to go to any type of school after Kindergarten. We use active teaching methods inspired by Montessori, Freinet, Reggio Emilia and the latest neuroscientific discoveries.
Our French-speaking teachers hold a Master MEEF and are qualified primary school teachers. Our English-speaking teachers have foreign degrees in education (Bachelor of Education, Arts). Once a month, the teaching team takes part in a collective training session to continue improving our teaching practices.
Yes, we go out to the park 1 or 2 times a day to give the children a break. All our schools are less than 5 minutes' walk from a park suitable for children aged 2 to 6.
By the time they leave école M, our pupils have all the skills they need to enter the first grade at any type of school. We help families find the right schools for their needs: state schools, private schools under contract, private schools outside contract, international schools... Our alumni network is invaluable for sharing the experiences of families who have already taken this step!
