ISMC • Paris | International Schools Meet-Up Conversation

Choosing the right school for your child can feel overwhelming — especially with so many options to consider.

ISMC — International Schools Meet-Up Conversation — was created to make the first step simpler.

ISMC brings together a small selection of international schools in one room for a single morning, allowing families to meet admissions teams directly, ask questions freely and explore their options before committing to individual school visits.

There are no presentations, no stages and no fixed schedule. Each school hosts its own table, and families move between conversations at their own pace — comparing programmes, discussing admissions, and gaining clarity about what might be the right fit for their child.

Whether you are relocating, exploring bilingual education, or comparing international and French programmes, ISMC offers a calm and focused environment to start your school search.

Three schools. One morning. All your questions answered.

Founded more than 125 years ago, École des Roches is one of France’s most established boarding schools. Located on a 50-hectare campus in Normandy, just one hour from Paris by train, the school welcomes students aged 11–18. It offers both the French Baccalauréat and the International Baccalaureate, alongside a vibrant boarding experience and international summer programmes.

École Jeannine Manuel Lille is one of France’s leading bilingual schools, offering a French-English education from Maternelle through Terminale. The Lille campus combines academic excellence with a strong international outlook, preparing students for the best universities in France and around the world through its BFI and International Baccalaureate programmes. The school also offers a boarding house, welcoming students into a residential environment that reflects the international spirit of the campus.

Jeannine Manuel School London extends the bilingual educational model of the Jeannine Manuel schools to the United Kingdom. Located in London, the school offers a French-English bilingual education from Primary through Secondary, combining strong academic standards with an international perspective. The school welcomes families seeking a rigorous bilingual education in a truly global city.

ISMC is a gathering where international schools meet the families genuinely exploring their options. It is designed as the essential first step in the school search process: a structured yet informal morning that gives families the information, access and clarity they need before committing to individual campus visits.
