Our two private bilingual schools, located in Clichy-Levallois and Bois-Colombes, welcome students from the final year of kindergarten (Grande Section) to the ninth grade (Troisième) in middle school. Our innovative educational model is based on a nurturing yet demanding pedagogy.
Founded in 2020, the iféa school network represents a new model of secular, private bilingual primary and middle schools. 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 strong foundation of knowledge and skills, helping them to thrive in adulthood and face the challenges of their generation together.
Since each child is unique, differentiation in small class sizes (fewer than 20 students) plays a central role in our nurturing yet demanding approach. We follow the French National Education curriculum, with necessary adaptations for a bilingual and innovative school, particularly in English and Science, where expectations are higher. Project-based learning, interdisciplinary approaches, and cyclical teaching methods are also encouraged. Lastly, citizenship education and global awareness hold a significant place in our educational framework.
Our private institution integrates thoughtful planning for school hours, as well as before- and after-school programs, both at the primary and middle school levels. At iféa, dedicated homework time is included in the schedule at the end of the day. For primary students, a morning care service is available from 8:00 am. Lastly, an optional After School program offering high-quality activities is available until 7:00 pm. Our classrooms are designed to support our pedagogy, featuring connected classrooms and flexible furniture.
Activities are offered to all children, whether they are enrolled in the school or not, after school, on Wednesday afternoons and during school holidays. These activities are aligned with our broader mission of academic success and student well-being. Children can benefit from enhanced academic support, as well as participate in a robotics club, chess club, and a variety of sports, cultural, and artistic activities.
Since 2020, iféa bilingual private schools welcome over 200 students from the final year of kindergarten to middle school. Admissions open in October, and depending on availability, a few mid-year admissions may be possible. iféa schools are private bilingual institutions funded solely by tuition fees. These fees are €978 per month for the year 2024, but adjustments can be made based on family income and the number of children enrolled.
