ABI School welcomes children from ages 2 to 12, from Toute Petite Section (TPS) through the end of elementary school.

ABI School opens in September 2026.

Registrations are open.

ABI School is located at 10–14 rue Claude Pouillet, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris (75017), close to public transport and easily accessible for families across the city. The closet metro stations are Villiers and Pont Cardinet.

No. We welcome children with different language backgrounds. Our bilingual environment is designed to support language development progressively and naturally, so children can join even if they speak neither language at the start.

ABI School offers a bilingual STEAM-focused education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics). The program combines academic learning with project-based, hands-on activities while fostering creativity, resilience, curiosity and critical thinking.

STEAM Without Screens - Learning by Doing:

At ABI School, science, engineering, arts and mathematics come alive through hands-on building, experimenting and creating with real materials. No tablets, no apps, just real curiosity and two capable hands.

We deliberately keep classes small, typically 12 to 15 students. This allows for individualised attention, active participation, and strong relationships between students and teachers.

Children learn in both English and French throughout their school experience. The approach is adapted to each age group:

TPS (ages 2–3): two teachers are present at all times: one French-speaking and one English-speaking, so children naturally associate each language with a person.

Maternelle and Primary (3–12): structured time-based immersion, half of the week is taught by an English-speaking teacher and the other half by a French-speaking teacher, ensuring balanced exposure to both languages.

Classes run Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After-school activities (until 6:30 p.m.) and Wednesday workshops are available with separate registration.

Absolutely. We warmly welcome international, expatriate and multilingual families relocating to Paris or joining from abroad, and we provide a safe and inclusive environment that helps children integrate into French culture.

We understand that moving to a new country or school can be a major transition. ABI School supports families through personalised communication, guidance, family meetings, cognitive assessments to inform learning, and mini-workshops offered in English, French or in bilingual format.

The process is designed to be smooth, attentive and personal:

1. Complete the online interest form.

2. Have an introductory call to discuss your child and your expectations.

3. Submit the registration form.

4. Visit us and meet the team.

5. Finalise enrolment.

Our goal is to ensure that every child enjoys a comfortable and positive lunchtime experience that suits your family’s preferences and needs. If you have any questions about our lunch program, please feel free to contact us.

ABI School educates the next generation in a spirit of peace, equality and tolerance. Our commitments include promoting gender equality in STEAM fields, supporting the integration of expatriate and displaced children (including Ukrainian families), providing mental-health and accessibility support, granting scholarships, and implementing eco-friendly practices throughout the school.

We work closely with families through regular meetings, parent workshops and bilingual mini-sessions on parenting and learning topics, and we offer help navigating social or administrative situations when needed.

Yes, and this is a deliberate, research-informed choice. At ABI School, STEAM learning is rooted in direct physical experience: children build, experiment, observe, create and solve problems using their hands and their senses, not a screen.

In practice, this means science through real experiments with materials and tools; engineering and design through construction kits, cardboard, clay and recycled objects; mathematics through manipulatives, games and spatial reasoning; arts through drawing, painting, sculpting and making; and technology concepts taught through logic, sequencing and unplugged coding activities, no device required.

This approach develops deeper understanding, stronger fine-motor skills, genuine curiosity and the ability to persevere through real challenges, qualities that no app can replicate. Screens are introduced gradually and purposefully only when they add clear educational value, and always under close teacher guidance.
