- EPIM currently enriches the range of languages offered in its school with Dutch, German and Italian.

- EPIM's curriculum is designed specifically for children between the ages of 3 to 12 years. The program is interdisciplinary, and each subject is dealt with in a coherent manner and preserves its importance. Mathematics, for example, is also discussed in science, geography, music, etc.

- Activities are not only centred around languages, math, and science but also the arts, music and social studies. Our school has an open admissions policy and each application is considered entirely on the child’s individual merits.

- Classes are small with a maximum of 16 children enabling each child to work at his / her own level under the direction of our experienced team.

What Makes EPIM International?

EPIM is international because:

- The school census includes children from both local and international families. Our enriched bilingual curriculum places strong emphasis on the academic performance and development of the whole child.
- The school is considered by local and regional authorities as being one of the city's assets for attracting international companies.

EPIM's History?
The two founders have a broad international professional and personal experience. They have solid leadership, business and management skills. In 2005, the school moved to its current premises in Marseille and attracts since then child education specialists from across the globe with broad experiences in international schools (more than 15 years of experience in average).

Pupils work also with specialist teachers in art, music and theater. In 2008, the founders opened a second school in Aix to respond to local demand.
