MAISONS-LAFFITTE, 21 October 2026. Ermitage International School Paris will hold an online open house on Saturday 14 November, from 09:00 to 17:45 French time. Families can follow French bilingual presentations in the morning and International Baccalaureate presentations in English in the afternoon, from home.
The school is in Maisons-Laffitte, just outside Paris, and the open house lets families explore its programmes and daily life without travelling. Student ambassadors and school leaders will speak during the day, and families can put their questions to the school's teams.
The morning is devoted to the French bilingual programmes, accredited by the French National Ministry of Education. These run from Maternelle to Terminale, for ages 3 to 18, and lead to the French Baccalaureate with International option (BFI). The presentations are in French, with English subtitles.
The afternoon focuses on the International Baccalaureate, taught in English to students aged 5 to 11 in the Primary Years Programme, 11 to 16 in the Middle Years Programme and 16 to 18 in the Diploma Programme. Ermitage is an IB World School, authorised to offer all three programmes.
Families who cannot join on 14 November can receive a recording of the sessions afterwards.
