About Open Sky International

Open Sky International Paris is a private bilingual English/French school, located in Boulogne-Billancourt, a suburb of Paris. Currently, our classes go up to the Troisième and in September we will open our first class of Second, which will follow a series of GCSE and IGCSE qualifications. Our vision is to provide a bilingual education of excellence to our students, and our academic curriculum is built on the strongest aspects of a range of international programmes and teaching and learning methodology. From the outset, we have high expectations and standards for all students and we want our curriculum to be rigorous, broad and engaging. Classes are small and pupils are courteous, hardworking and motivated. We are a fully international school, welcoming French and expatriate families, and we are proud of our multicultural school community. Our staff at all levels are enthusiastic and passionate about education and have a good understanding of best teaching and learning practices. In our Maternelle classes, children follow a programme very similar to the British Early Years curriculum. From the primary school, all pupils follow a bilingual timetable, with half of their classes taking place in French and half in English.
