The Lower School welcomes around 400 children aged 2½ to 10 into a distinctively international community divided into 5 kindergarten and 11 primary classes. The children's school life and work are organised so as to accommodate all linguistic, cultural and educational differences.
In the Middle School great importance is placed on bilingualism, with 10 hours of classes per week taught in English (for English itself, as well as History, Civilisation, and Natural Sciences) according to the level of each pupil and numerous visits abroad as part of a cultural exchange scheme.
The Upper School prepares students aged 16 to 18 for the French Baccalaureate (Economic, Literary and Scientific sections) and the International Option of the French Baccalaureate (American Section). L'Ermitage also offers the British A-Level diploma, enabling pupils to take 4 subjects from a choice of 8 entirely in English, as well as a variety of common core subjects (IT, Media Studies, French Civilisation and European Studies).
Students can choose from a wide variety of outings and cultural activities and participate in different clubs, sporting competitions, community service projects, human aid initiatives and international conferences. Numerous exchanges are also offered with partner schools from the USA, Europe and Asia.
Non French-speaking students arriving from abroad can benefit from adaptation classes during their first year of stay in France, helping to contribute to the family atmosphere for day school and boarding school pupils alike.
The school makes every effort to integrate computer technology into the classroom (wireless, high-speed internet network, an intranet service, an extensive range of computer facilities including interactive whiteboards and a 150-strong computer park) in order to enhance the creativity and innovation of its teachers and students alike.
L'Ermitage also benefits from an association with the internationally-renowned Global Connections foundation and in 2005 became the first ever French school to join Round Square.
