About iféa
Our private bilingual schools are rooted in the 21st century and offer a new model of education, with a pedagogy based on the principles of kindness, high standards, and solidarity.
Vision and values
The iféa school network represents a new model of secular, private bilingual schools, serving students from kindergarten to elementary school and middle school. Our mission is to design, implement, and promote an educational model that is both nurturing and demanding. Our goal is to enable all children to reach their full potential by building a solid foundation of knowledge and skills, allowing them to thrive as adults and collectively face the challenges of their generation.

Our teaching staff
In 21st-century schools, teachers remain the key factor in ensuring student success and personal growth. Even in the digital age, nothing can replace the human presence needed to guide children in their learning journey. For the founders, teachers, as experts in their disciplines, must above all be specialists in understanding each individual child entrusted to them, able to adapt their pedagogy to each unique profile.
All our teachers are experienced, some are bilingual, and they are fully integrated into the iféa educational team, trained in the iféa pedagogy. Regular and structured opportunities for experience-sharing and consultation are in place.Teaching practices are regularly evaluated, and the most effective methods are shared with the entire educational community.

Researchers
At iféa, we aim to create the schools of the 21st century. Our campuses in Clichy-Levallois and Bois-Colombes (92) are open spaces where various partners collaborate to invent or refine the pedagogical practices and tools of tomorrow. As such, we work with different research centers and laboratories in the fields of digital technology, neuroscience, and scientific research. For instance, we have collaborated with the “Savanturiers” program and the Learning Planet Institute (LPI), both of which promote research-based education.
A network of specialists
The educational team is committed to ensuring the well-being of every student in both the elementary and middle school. If there is any concern about a student’s well-being or academic struggles, the team may suggest specific support for families through partners who work with iféa. Our network of specialists and experts includes psychiatrists, psychologists specializing in giftedness, handwriting therapists, sophrologists, speech therapists, and more.
