One of top boarding schools in France!

Our international school provides bilingual, college preparatory academics to students in grades 9 through 12 and is made up of international students from all over the world. The school introduces an exciting opportunity for non-French speakers to learn the French language and culture while attending an American curriculum held in English.

Notre-Dame International High School is a boarding school in Paris, but also offers French homestays for further French cultural immersion.

As part of the Nacel International School System, Notre-Dame
International High School Paris introduces an exciting opportunity for
students to live and learn in France. This bilingual school is located
on the campus of Notre-Dame Les Oiseaux, a prestigious French high
school with a long history of excellence in the very competitive French
private school system. NDIHS is privileged to be part of Notre-Dame Les
Oiseaux, providing enhanced academic, cutlural enrichment, and
extra-curricular opportunities to our students. Notre-Dame International
High School is one of the few international boarding schools in France.

Notre-Dame International High School’s (NDIHS) curriculum is
based on a tried-and-true American curriculum which has been developed
at St Paul Preparatory School (SPP), a USA high school accredited
through North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School
Improvement (NCA-CASI), and the model school of the Nacel International
School System.

NDIHS allows international students to learn the French language
and culture while attending American courses administered in English.
The US curriculum covers the following subject areas: Science,
Mathematics, Social Studies, Language Arts, Foreign Language; the French
curriculum (Arts, Music and Physical Education) is taught by French
teachers from our French sister school, Notre-Dame Les Oiseaux. The
program is completed by a program called Academic Advisement. After
successful studies on the program, students will graduate with a US high
school diploma, while being conversant in 2 cultures – the French and
the American one!

The educational aim of Notre-Dame Les Oiseaux, our international High
School in Paris’ host school, is „Grow Up Together”. The goal is to
prepare students to become autonomous and responsible adults. This
school offers individualized student support and establishes true
relations between community members. It even offers special classes for
children with advanced abilities as well as for students with lower
abilities. Notre-Dame Les Oiseaux aims at offering a place for living in
community, a place of freedom, proposal and involvement.

Notre-Dame Les Oiseaux currently offers 6 sections: a Kindergarten (5
classes), a Lower School (21 classes), a Middle School (32 classes), a
General and Technical Upper School (26 classes), postsecondary school’s
technical degrees (Business and International Business, Banking,
Chemistry) as well as a continuing education training center for adults.
The school will now welcome our international High School in Paris,
Notre-Dame International High School, a school offering a bilingual
curriculum combining American and French approaches.
