British School of Paris

The British School of Paris is a well-established private institution in the 16th arrondissement's Passy neighbourhood, one of the most desirable residential areas in the French capital for international families. The school follows the English National Curriculum from Early Years Foundation Stage through to A-Levels, preparing students aged 3 to 18 for entry to leading UK universities and institutions worldwide. Founded to serve the British and international expatriate community in Paris, the school has earned a strong reputation for academic excellence and pastoral care. The teaching staff is predominantly recruited from the United Kingdom and holds British teaching qualifications, ensuring continuity and authenticity with the UK education system. The school is accredited by the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) and inspected under the British Schools Overseas (BSO) framework. The Passy campus is housed in an elegant 19th-century building with modern additions, offering well-appointed classrooms with interactive learning technology, dedicated science laboratories for biology, chemistry, and physics, a comprehensive library, specialist rooms for art, design and technology, and computing. Sports facilities include an indoor swimming pool, a multi-use sports hall, and access to nearby Bois de Boulogne for cross-country and outdoor activities. Academic results are consistently strong, with GCSE and A-Level outcomes placing the school among the top British schools on the continent. Graduates regularly secure places at Russell Group universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College, and UCL, as well as Sciences Po Paris and other French higher education institutions. French language instruction is integrated throughout the curriculum, distinguishing the school from British schools in non-francophone countries. Students benefit from daily exposure to French language and culture, and many achieve near-bilingual proficiency by the time they complete their studies. The school also offers French as a first language pathway for francophone students. Extracurricular activities include competitive sports, Duke of Edinburgh International Award, performing arts, chess, coding, and community outreach. The school participates in COBIS games and inter-school tournaments across Europe. Tuition fees range from EUR 18,000 for Early Years to EUR 35,000 for Sixth Form, placing the school in the premium tier of international education in Paris. Transport, uniform, and examination fees are charged separately.
