About École Jeannine Manuel (EJM)
École Jeannine Manuel is a non-profit pre-K-12 coeducational school founded in 1954 with the mission to promote international understanding through the bilingual education of a multicultural community of students. It believes in pedagogical innovation and the constant exploration of best practices, in the context of an ever-changing global environment.
An associated UNESCO school, École Jeannine Manuel welcomes over 3,300 students from nursery to twelfth grade, in Paris and in Lille, representing almost eighty nationalities and every major cultural and religious tradition. Its campus in Lille offers co-educational boarding for students in grades 6-12. Students follow an enriched bilingual curriculum and, in eleventh grade, choose between the French track leading to the international option of French baccalaureate (American section) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB). Academic standards are high: Ecole Jeannine Manuel is consistently ranked among the top French schools (ranked first among French high schools – public or private – for eight consecutive years).
Each year, the school welcomes more than 100 new non-French speaking pupils. These students, key to the cultural diversity of the school, are enrolled in an adaptation programme where they receive intensive and immersive French tuition tailored to their individual level.
The school is accredited by the French Ministry of Education, the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).

An education based on strong values such as teamwork and diversity. A very rewarding program.
A great team which supervises the students in the best possible way, nurses, teachers take care of the mental and physical health of all.
A very good school that I recommend to all parents for their children
A school program adapted to develop external multicultural activities: sports, theater, music, projects ...
A fairly expensive school in the French landscape, true, but much accessible than other international schools! My daughter has been there for 4 years now and I regret not having thought about it for my eldest son.
A school at the forefront of innovation that draws on cognitive science research. Methods created by the school in many different subjects.
I had heard of EJM when I was looking for a school for my son. After some research, I saw that the school stands out from others through its unique mission and its way of teaching. My son has been there for over 2 years and I absolutely do not regret my choice.
The parent’s association has been very helpful in making us and our children feel at home in this new school system.
A very good surprise ! My children being bilingual, I was scared that they would lose their English level if I put them in a French school...Absolutely not and they are still progressing!
When we arrived in France, we were very well received by the school as parents. Our children adapted very quickly to the school system. We witnessed the great cultural diversity of the school and the school's pedagogical teams showed great professionalism.
