PEDAGOGY
Why is it important to learn languages from a young age?
Young children have exceptional neural “plasticity,” enabling them to absorb new knowledge easily. Early exposure to multiple languages promotes deeper comprehension and faster assimilation.
As their brains are still developing, they naturally engage different language-processing areas, making language learning intuitive, efficient, and long-lasting.
What are your academic objectives regarding the French National Curriculum?
We fully follow the French National Education curriculum while offering an enriched and rigorous approach. From preschool onwards, early learning foundations are established to support academic excellence.
With small class sizes and strong pedagogical support, students acquire knowledge deeply and confidently. Our teaching combines academic rigor, proven traditional methods, and modern active pedagogies, placing the child at the heart of learning.
This high standard is reflected in results: in 2025, 100% of our 3ème students earned their French Brevet diploma, all with honors.
What are Eurécole’s key strengths?
- The only trilingual school in Paris, from preschool to middle school
- A rigorous program aligned with the French National Curriculum, enriched with languages, cultures, and sports

Are there school trips and cultural activities?
Yes. Eurécole organizes numerous educational outings throughout the year: museums, cultural institutions, artistic workshops, performances, and other learning experiences.
Students also benefit from a rich artistic curriculum taught by a visual arts teacher and a drama teacher, including plays in English, German or Spanish, as well as creative activities such as painting, collage, and hands-on artistic projects.
Additionally, an annual school trip is organized every year from CP to 3ᵉ, encouraging autonomy, teamwork, and cultural enrichment.
How does Eurécole promote global awareness?
Eurécole maintains a strong international outlook through partnerships with various embassies (South America, Austria, Germany…), international cultural centers, and institutions such as UNESCO.
These partnerships lead to on-site presentations, cultural exchanges, and institutional visits, allowing students to explore and understand different cultures.

LANGUAGE LEARNING
Does Eurécole welcome students who do not speak French?
Yes. Eurécole welcomes many international students who do not yet speak French. A dedicated French as a Foreign Language (FLE) program ensures smooth and successful integration.
In preschool and elementary school, students receive 3 hours of FLE per week in small groups with their classroom teacher. In middle school, this may reach 4 hours 15 minutes per week to ensure strong language development and thorough preparation for the French Brevet diploma.
This system allows non-French-speaking students to make rapid progress and fully integrate into school life.
Is it necessary to already speak several languages before joining Eurécole?
No. Languages are taught in level-based groups, allowing each student to progress at their own rhythm. Beginners are welcome and can move to higher groups as they improve.
Do students take official language examinations?
Yes. Eurécole prepares students for several internationally recognized certifications:
Are language classes focused on speaking or writing?
Teachers place particular emphasis on oral communication, as language is learned first and foremost through practice and interaction. Writing is also developed, especially for bilingual students who follow curriculum elements from their country of origin.
Students therefore build strong skills in both spoken and written language.
