Welcome to the International Bilingual School of Haute-Savoie!

Dear parents,
At EBiHS, students thrive in a stimulating, caring environment designed to foster their independence and teach them to adapt to new cultures and languages. Our students grow up in an international context, surrounded by children of many different nationalities. The multicultural environment enables students to develop qualities and skills that are essential for their future: curiosity, critical thinking, empathy, a sense of sharing and collaboration, and open-mindedness.
Under contract with the French Ministry of Education for two of our primary classes, and recognized by the Fondation Pour l’Ecole for the quality of its teaching, our school has been offering high-quality bilingual education since its creation. Language learning from an early age is at the heart of our educational project. In our classes, the presence of qualified native English-speaking teachers ensures that students are truly immersed in the language and culture.
Our small class sizes allow for a student-centered pedagogy that keeps students active and engaged in their learning.
Our rigorous program, taught in French and English, effectively prepares students for the challenges of high school and university, whether at a school in France or abroad. By combining the best of the French education system with contributions from Anglo-Saxon school systems such as the Cambridge program, EBiHS gives your children the foundations they need to succeed in a French lycée or international program.
EBiHS is also a school open to parents. The school year is punctuated by events that bring the community together: shows, meetings with teachers, parties and traditions.
Choosing a school is particularly important to give your child the best possible preparation for his or her future; we are available to talk to you about our program and advise you.
