ICS Paris International School

As a parent who has been part of the ICS community for about three years now, I only have good feedback about the school. I have a child in early education and one in secondary, and it has been a good experience for them both. The staff are welcoming (especially the teachers for the young ones), and the school environment is overall a good atmosphere to be a part of. We chose ICS to keep our kids in the same school and we are quite content with that decision.

Ideal for families who need an international education and want to be sure that their children can easily integrate into other schools worldwide.

I cannot recommend this school. There is no philosophy of education and the focus is on making money with the least investment. Some teachers are good but most felt not really capable. Communication is one-way: I tried to have multiple meetings and none of my suggestions were taken or led to changes — and the school was simultaneously asking us to do things. Very unpleasant years.

I sent two of my children to this school for over a year. I absolutely do not recommend it. If you are looking for an international school in Paris, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. We had concerns about student safety incidents and administrative responsiveness that were never resolved.
