Our educational approach for
bilingual education

At Bim School, our core objective is to provide every child with a safe, stimulating, and welcoming bilingual environment where they can build strong academic foundations in French and English, develop self-confidence, and thrive as individuals and as part of a group.

A Bilingual Education from Preschool to 5th Grade

Our bilingual schools offer a 50/50 immersion in English and French, allowing children to evolve in a truly dual-language setting.

Our dedicated team of native English and French-speaking educators ensures that both languages are spoken daily, fostering natural fluency and opening-up their students to the diversity of their methods and backgrounds.

Because a bilingual school is not only about language, each child, parent or teacher is encouraged to share their culture and experiences at school..

1.

In preschool

All activities including early literacy and language development are conducted alternately in both languages. Children will learn to read in English and in French during this cycle.

2.

In elementary school

Apart from structured language studies in small, level-based groups, students engage with all subjects in both languages throughout the year, often through cross-disciplinary projects. A French as a Foreign Language (FLE) option is available for non-French-speaking children.

A Curriculum Aligned with National and International Standards

We are committed to preparing our students for the future, ensuring they meet the French Education Nationale framework while integrating  global best practices in teaching. Our teaching teams are made up of educators with diverse backgrounds, each working on their strengths and specialities ranging from maths and science to literacy, arts and culture.    

Beyond academics, our curriculum includes social-emotional learning, helping children develop self-confidence, adaptability, and collaboration skills are key foundations for their success.

Active and Individualized Teaching Approaches

Our diverse, bilingual, teaching team includes Montessori-certified educators, French Education Nationale teachers, Early Childhood specialists, and bilingual instructors. They implement active learning methodologies that promote independence, curiosity, and engagement while ensuring personalized academic support tailored to each child’s needs. Small group sizes enable our teachers and educators to observe each, individual child and set their learning pace and material accordingly.

At Bim school Paris 15, Puteaux and Courbevoie, Montessori principles guide our 2-6 year-old programs, fostering autonomy and self-paced learning. From begining of elementary grades onwards, Montessori is combined with other active pedagogies in multi-level classes.

At Bim School Boulogne, we offer an individualized, project-based approach, integrating active learning, oral expression, and artistic exploration to engage all learning profiles.

Comprehensive Services for Modern Families

To support busy families, Bim Schools provides a wide range of bilingual extracurricular programs in partnership with Pari Grandir, a leader in bilingual educational centers. Our offerings include: Afterschool programs, Happy Mercredi – Wednesday Club and Holiday camps.

All activities take place on-site, ensuring children enjoy high-quality experiences in a familiar and enriching environment while giving parents peace of mind.
