Forest International School Paris is a student-centred school. In addition to mainstream academic subjects, we value distinctive inquiry-based interdisciplinary studies, project-based learning, social emotional learning and creativity.
At FISP we recognise that young children are very special people with unique personalities and individual, growing needs.
In the Primary school (age 5 - 11 years old), each child has a class teacher who is responsible for teaching all academic subjects.

The Forest International School Paris has been a committed advocate of environmental values throughout the years.
The curriculum is taught in English and gradually includes French (native speakers and as a foreign language).
This bilingual approach gives the opportunity for all children to develop writing and speaking skills from early years through all academic aspects.
Our teachers, staff and pupils come from around the world.
We celebrate cultural diversity in daily life as well as through numerous special events.
International education builds understanding and respect among different peoples and enhances constructive leadership in the global community.
Small class sizes with individual attention to give everybody a chance to learn.
This allows the use of different teaching strategies to account for children’s different ability and maturity levels as well as their individual preferences.
A high standard of teaching, combining the English National Curriculum as well as both the International Primary Curriculum and International Middle Years Curriculum.
Cambridge assessments and preparation to the French Brevet des Colleges are also proposed.
“Let nature be your teacher.” William Wordsworth
Research has shown that outdoor learning benefits child development, supports wellbeing and mental health, creates connections with nature and promotes more inclusiveness and engagement in learning. That’s why forest classes take place every day.
We also maintain a large garden with separate play areas and a sports pitch.
A covered and heated swimming pool is open during the autumn and summer terms.
