In September 2027, Concordia School Paris will open its third campus, which will welcome its International Lycée, located just a short distance from the Champ de Mars. This marks a major new stage in the school’s development.
The Lycée will welcome students from Seconde (Year 11) to Terminale (Year 13) as part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, continuing on from our Cambridge International Education accreditation and the IGCSEs prepared in Middle School. Designed for 21st-century learners, it will offer an ambitious and inspiring environment.
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Brendan Walsh as Head of Collège from the start of the 2026–27 academic year. With twenty years' experience in international and bilingual schools, he will lead the next stage of the Collège's development — welcoming over 120 students this year — towards the Brevet — International Option, the Cambridge IGCSEs and the opening of the Lycée in 2027.
The French Education authority has authorised Concordia School Paris to open a British International Section in Year 10 (3ème). From the 2027 session onwards, our students will be able to sit the Diplôme National du Brevet — International Option in addition to the Cambridge IGCSEs. A dual official recognition at the end of Middle School — within both the French and the British systems.
Concordia is introducing a school bus service, which will initially connect our two current campuses — Grande Armée and Cimarosa — before including the third campus from its opening in 2027. This initiative is designed to make daily journeys easier for families. The service will be charged to parents.
Concordia has obtained Cambridge International Education accreditation to prepare our students for IGCSEs. This recognition further anchors Concordia’s academic pathway.
From 40 students at opening in 2019 to nearly 480 today, the school continues to grow steadily. This development reflects the confidence families place in our bilingual educational project — and the strength of a model combining French rigour with Anglo-American educational tradition.
Concordia has formalised its smartphone-free policy in Middle School. Inspired by the work of Jonathan Haidt, this decision protects the students’ concentration and wellbeing. A Family Commitment Charter accompanies the measure, encouraging families to delay smartphone access until the end of Middle School.
A renovated 2,000 m² hôtel particulier at Trocadéro welcomes our Primary School and new Middle School. A warm library, a dining hall-auditorium for Assemblies, and flexible spaces dedicated to science, art, and music mark a major stage in the school’s development.
Concordia opened its doors at Grande Armée, close to the Arc de Triomphe, with 40 children from Petite Section (Nursery) to CM1 (Year 5). A bilingual and bicultural school founded on the conviction that an ambitious education should form free, cultivated minds capable of thinking about the world with discernment — founded by Aurore Longuet Grierson.
