List of non-contract nursery and elementary school in Paris and the Ile-de-France region

How to select an OFF-CONTRACT school in Paris for your child?

The first step in choosing a bilingual nursery or elementary school for your child is to consider your own needs and preferences. Here are some factors to consider: 

  • Teaching methods: Find out about the school's teaching methods. Some schools favor language immersion, while others adopt a more balanced approach between the two languages.

  • Location: Choose a school that is within easy reach of your home or workplace, to ensure your child's attendance is convenient and regular.

  • Reputation: Research the school's reputation, academic success rate, and feedback from parents of current and former students.

  • Tuition: Private bilingual schools can be expensive. Make sure you understand the costs associated with the school you are considering.

Now that you have a clearer idea of what you're looking for, let's move on to a list of non-contract schools in Paris and the Ile-de-France region, sorted by location, département and arrondissement.
