Selecting an international school in France involves thoughtful consideration of academic quality, continuity, and cultural inclusivity. The International School of Nice (ISN) provides a comprehensive educational pathway for students aged 3 to 18 years old. Situated on the Côte d’Azur, the school offers an English-medium education in a diverse, internationally minded environment.

Education from Early Years to Graduation

At ISN, students benefit from a thoughtfully structured academic journey that spans from age 3 to 18. As an all-through international school in France, ISN is uniquely positioned to support learners through every stage of their development: Early Years (ages 3–6), Primary School (ages 6–11), Middle School (ages 11–14), and High School (ages 14–18).

This structure provides more than just continuity. It offers a familiar and secure environment where each learner can grow with confidence, form lasting relationships, and build a solid academic foundation.

International Curriculum Across All School Stages

As an authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) World School in France (“IB World School”), ISN offers the full IB continuum: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). This international curriculum is respected worldwide and helps students develop curiosity, resilience, and global awareness.

The IB Learner Profile is embedded throughout each stage, providing consistency in teaching values, academic expectations, and character development. Students progress through each level with purpose, gaining the skills and mindset needed for university and beyond.

Smooth Transitions for Every Learner

One of the advantages of choosing an all-through international school is the strength of transitions. Moving from Early Years into Primary or from Middle School into the IB Diploma is managed with care, structure, and guidance.

Dedicated pastoral care and transition programmes, homeroom teachers, and student buddy systems help to ease each shift. Learners are not just academically prepared, they are also emotionally supported, ensuring that each transition is approached with confidence and care.

Relationships that Build Confidence

Spending years in one school community brings important benefits. Many of ISN’s educators have been part of the school for over a decade, offering consistency and deep understanding of each student’s journey.

With small class sizes, we ensure that every learner is known, supported, and challenged at the right level. Strong family-school partnerships further enhance each student’s experience and outcomes.

A Trusted Choice for Globally Mobile Families

For expat families moving to France or for French families seeking an international education, finding the right English-speaking school in France is a top priority. ISN Nice offers the reassurance of a proven curriculum, international ethos, and welcoming community.

From English-medium instruction to an integrated French language programme, the school is designed for international learners or local French families seeking international exposure. Experienced staff guide students through each transition,  whether they join in Early Years or High School, helping them settle quickly and thrive.
