Eurécole

A small international and trilingual school in the 16th arrondissement, founded in 1989, taking children from preschool through middle school with a strong European-languages tilt of English, Spanish and German alongside French.

Eurécole's distinctive feature is the trilingual ambition. Children typically arrive with one or two languages and are pushed firmly into a third. Class sizes are small, the rue de Lübeck address is convenient for families in the 16th and 17th, and the school positions itself as an academic alternative to the larger international institutions.

Families speak warmly about the teachers, the breadth of language exposure, and the steady academic progress. Children who arrive without French commonly leave the first year functional in French and starting on Spanish. Sport, debating and arts get genuine timetable space. The most common gripe is administrative communication, which several parents describe as patchy. There is no in-house lycée, so the secondary plan needs to be made early. Best for families with a clear language goal who want a small, structured school for the primary and collège years.

• The public review pool is small but uniformly positive across French and English-speaking sources. International School Advisor shows a five-star Google review and Edarabia carries one further parent recommendation.
• One parent sent their daughter there and called it "a very fine school", adding it is "not nearly as expensive as some of the places you've seen" relative to other Paris bilingual options.
• Another parent recommended Eurecole specifically because it is trilingual in English, French and Spanish, the third language being a defining feature.
• A long-standing parent on Google praised "enthusiastic educators, an approachable administration, and exceptional English instruction", noting graduates move on to "top Parisian secondary institutions".
• One leaving family wrote "Nous recommandons cette école vivement... nous regretterons beaucoup l'équipe formidable et l'accueil toujours chaleureux", regretting having to leave.
• No critical voices surface in the public pool, so signal is small and one-sided positive.
