An Bilingual Curriculum: A Launchpad for the Future
Much more than an academic programme, our curriculum develops key intellectual and human skills: critical thinking, academic rigor, independence, openness, and global awareness.
Thanks to its flexible, student-centered approach, our educational model fits naturally within international systems. It is an ideal choice for expat and mobile families, offering high-quality educational continuity wherever life takes them.
The International Learning Journey, Step by Step
From their very first years of school, our students build curiosity, confidence, and key skills through bilingual learning. In small classes, guided by caring teachers, they grow into open-minded young learners ready to thrive in an international world.
International Kindergarten
Our kindergarten welcomes children from age 2, offering a joyful and nurturing environment where learning happens through play, exploration, and discovery. Through songs, stories, and creative activities, children develop early communication skills, confidence, and a love of learning. Immersed in both French and English, they begin to understand the world through two languages and cultures
International Primary School
Our primary programme, for ages 6-11, offers a bilingual education that combines academic excellence with personal growth. Children build strong literacy, numeracy, and thinking skills while learning to collaborate, express themselves, and appreciate cultural diversity. Learning is active, creative, and meaningful, preparing each student for future success in both French and international pathways.
A Seamless Transition to Middle School
After completing primary school at Ermitage International School Bordeaux, students are well prepared to pursue either a French or an international curriculum. Many families choose to continue their child’s international journey within the Ermitage Education Group, notably at International School 33 in Gradignan which offers both the French Brevet des Collèges and the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum.
