Ermitage International School is a day and boarding school near Paris offering international education for ages 3-18. Our programmes include the International Baccalaureate (230 students, ages 11-18) delivered in English, with French lessons from beginner to native level. A new International Primary School (ages 8-11) will open for 2025/2026. Our French Bilingual Section (1,260 students, ages 3-18) leads to the French Baccalaureate with International Option (BFI).

Set in historic Maisons-Laffitte, 20km from Paris, our campus welcomes students from over 80 nationalities. We emphasize student-centered learning, bilingualism, and leadership, with flexible boarding options available.

IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) 1-5

The MYP encourages students to be active learners, asking challenging questions, as well as developing a strong sense of identity, cultural understanding and communication skills. During the MYP, our team of experienced teachers accompany and guide students on their journey to becoming IB Learners. Emphasis is placed on individual growth and encouraging students to reflect upon their classroom projects and co-curricular initiatives. Teachers facilitate students' learning and help prepare them for the rigorous demands of the IB Diploma Programme.

IB Diploma Programme (DP) 1-2

Within the dynamic, inquiry based environment, students are encouraged to think critically and become independent learners. Assignments are demanding, but by graduation the calibre of research, writing and project management skills acquired mean our students are highly prepared for their tertiary studies.
