International Preschool / Nursery School in Paris

United Nations Nursery School:
United Nations Nursery School located on Rue Pierre Guérin at Paris’s 16th arrondissement, the largest administrative district of Paris, on the west side of Paris, is a private, international, multicultural school welcoming children between 2 and 1/2 and 6 years of age. The active teaching environment is led by an experienced team of bilingual English / French teachers, with English classes are held at all levels. The school’s garden setting, low teacher-pupil ratio, multicultural make-up and lively social life set it apart from other pre-schools.

Our school was founded in 1951 by a group of parents of different nationalities who were working for UNESCO. The school is a place where the children come into contact with a variety of different cultures which widens their experience and broadens their outlook. They come to understand and then to respect other cultures and all that these entail: foreign languages, special customs, different kinds of food and more. On average, there are eighteen nationalities represented in any given year.

The staff are all qualified teachers and they too are of various nationalities. In a warm and friendly but not permissive atmosphere, each child can learn at his or her own pace, acquiring knowledge and understanding which will allow him to approach abstract thinking.

Using themes which the children have shown an interest in, the teachers organize activities designed to develop the potential of each child in areas such as social communication, emotional development, physical and intellectual skills. Each class has its own educational program, drawn up in line with to the instructions of the French Ministry of Education, and a variety of educational material and toys, adapted to the children’s ages and interests, which enable them to experiment and discover things for themselves, an indispensable aspect of pre-school learning.
