ICS Paris

A full IB continuum school in the 15th arrondissement at 23 rue de Cronstadt, operated by the Globeducate network and offering PYP, MYP and DP in English with French woven through, for roughly 600 children aged 3 to 18.

ICS Paris traces its lineage to the EAB bilingual group and joined Globeducate in the mid-2010s. The school is one of the network's premium IB sites, with a 2024 Diploma average of 33.7 against the global 30 and a pass rate above 90 percent. That puts it firmly in the upper tier for IB outcomes in France.

Parent voice is divided. Many families describe warm primary teachers, a genuinely international cohort drawn from over 70 nationalities, and children who are happy and progressing. The recurring complaint is the administrative side. Several parents describe inconsistent decision-making and a sense that operational responsiveness lags the academic standard. Fees of roughly 21,000 to 33,000 euros place it alongside the major Paris internationals. Best for families committed to the IB pathway who are willing to engage actively with school management.

• Globeducate-run IB World School in Paris 15, intentionally small, mostly expat families.
• Parents posting on the International Schools Database describe demanding but caring teachers and an international atmosphere with strong IB outcomes (90 percent pass rate, average 33.7 in 2024).
• The same parent pool is split: other reviews call out for-profit cost-cutting, inconsistent teacher quality, and arbitrary administration with shifting standards.
• A current student confirmed the IB Diploma track and used the school's predicted-grade process without complaint.
• Class-size complaints surface around grades where parents say a weaker teacher leads a group of more than 20.
