Member of the Globeducate group

In 2012, the EIB joined the Globeducate Group, Europe’s leading network of international private schools, dedicated to academic excellence and with the ambition of preparing pupils for success in a globalised world. Founded in 1972 in Spain under the name NACE Schools, the Globeducate Group now comprises more than 65 schools across three continents. Within this network, EIB is part of the GFIS group, Globeducate French International Schools.

Globeducate French International Schools 

The EIB Paris bilingual schools are part of the Globeducate French International Schools (GFIS) network, a community of outstanding French schools belonging to the Globeducate group and located across Europe and North Africa. We combine the rigour of the French educational system with the dynamism of an international curriculum.From nursery to graduation, we guide our pupils within the French academic tradition. We prepare them to become independent citizens, equipped with strong reasoning skills, a deep understanding and a well-developed critical mind. Our internationally-oriented schools also prioritise multilingualism, a cross-curricular approach combining STEAM subjects and the arts, as well as a caring, child-centred culture.

By combining tradition and innovation, we equip our pupils with the knowledge, skills and confidence that will enable them to choose the future they desire, whether in France or abroad.

As GFIS schools, we share the same objectives:

Excellence without compromise.

High academic standards, encouraging every pupil to aim for the highest level of achievement in their learning.

Shaping the world, together.

A strong international outlook, based on bilingualism and cultural exchange, enabling everyone to flourish in a global and connected environment.

Imagining new possibilities.

Fostering curiosity, creativity and initiative, to empower pupils to explore, innovate and shape their own paths with confidence.

A Message from our Managing Director

Since 1954, EIB Paris has been a pioneer in bilingual international education. Every day, we do everything we can to support our pupils and empower them to excel. Our priority is to offer them a dynamic environment, dedicated support and educational choices of the highest standard, to ensure they have the best possible chance of success in France and internationally.

Convinced of the importance of diversity and internationalism, we were the first in France to offer a French curriculum under a contract of association with the State, complemented by an exclusive English language programme starting from the age of three.

For more than 70 years, we have enriched our teaching methods with innovative approaches, particularly in language teaching, to give our school a wonderful international dimension of which we are proud today. This is why EIB Paris fits so well within the global group, Globeducate, which it joined in 2012.

More than just a school, EIB Paris is a community, a family. Our teams are dedicated to preparing and supporting your children to become the global citizens of tomorrow.

 

Jean-Xavier Moreau,
Managing Director of EIB Paris Bilingual International Schools
