The British School of Paris caters for English speaking children of over fifty nationalities (about 70% of them British) from ages 4-18. It is a non-profit Associaton in France and is managed by a Board of Governors under the patronage of His Excellency the British Ambassador.

The School is on two different sites in the western suburbs of Paris. The Junior School occupies a beautiful wooded site overlooking the Seine valley and has many modern facilities including an indoor swimming pool and safe play areas. Studies are based on the British National Curriculum with emphasis on English, maths, science and the French language. Various sports, music and drama, together with many extra-curricular activities are also provided.

At the Senior School, the first part of a three-phase development programme comprising four spacious modern laboratories and associated practical area opened in January 1989. This development was completed in 1995 with the construction of a new teaching block, a library and a sports hall. Projects for the next three years include a technology suite, new refectory, an auditorium and a new, purpose-built Junior School.

Students enter at the age of 11 and for the first three years, a broad general curriculum is maintained in line with the National Curriculum. Pupils are prepared for the GCSE and AS and A Level examinations in a comprehensive range of subjects. All courses are supplemented by a programme of Personal, Social and Health Education.

The British School is co-educational throughout, with almost equal numbers of boys and girls. Each section has about four hundred pupils, with a four form entry into the Senior School.

Small overall numbers, modest class sizes and a supportive pastoral care system, mean that new pupils integrate quickly and find themselves well motivated in their work.
