Use of technology in the classroom

Technology is a fact of life for many children these days and there are many interesting and innovative options to be found. All classrooms are equipped with interactive and connected screens. We also supply iPads during lessons should the teachers request them and Coding is an optional extracurricular activity that we offer.

Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

Concordia Bilingual School is a private, bilingual and independent school in Paris combining the best of the French and English educational systems.

Teaching approach of the school

We are a bilingual preschool, primary school and middle school offering academic excellence and personal fulfilment for each child, in an English environment. Whilst we are a school registered at the Rectorat de Paris and we adhere to the standards of the “Education Nationale Française,” we also meet the objectives of the English National Curriculum. Our classes are taught 50% in English and 50% in French, and with a maximum of 20 children per class, we are able to personalise the academic programme so as to best adapt to each child’s rhythm. Numerous workshops are included in a Concordia School Paris education, with our afternoons primarily reserved for sports and other activities, including chess, music, art and theatre. We also emphasise leadership skills, oral expression, teamwork and empathy. Concordia offers students the possibility of following the programme of LAMDA, the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art: from the age of six, children learn to speak in public and to recite and read texts. If the parents wish, each level can be validated by a certificate from our LAMDA-accredited teachers. Our mission is to create a positive, joyful and reassuring environment so that our students become true "learners" for their whole lives.
