Building trust,
helping children to grow
At Lily School Paris 15th, we don’t just build learning experiences :
we weave lasting bonds between children, families, and our team.
Once upon a time…
There were French families moving abroad,
foreign families settling in France,
and the richness of international exchanges.
Parents whose children were not “French or Italian” but both French and Italian,
and children who, from the age of two, began speaking several languages.
About us
From these encounters and cross-cultural lives, Lily School Paris was born —
a school truly open to the world, where language barriers disappear,
and where children learn to understand one another, to create, and to respect all living things.
Our non-profit school follows a diverse educational approach, inspired by the Decroly, Freinet, and Montessori methods.
Its mission is to open children’s minds to the world through early foreign-language learning, the arts, self-respect and respect for others, as well as awareness of eco-citizenship and intergenerational exchange.
Our values
Growing with confidence, curiosity, and respect
Our Guiding Principles
Vision, Mission & Values
- Warm atmosphere, small groups, and respect for each child’s rhythm
- Autonomy, creativity, and confidence at the heart of every activity
- Outings and projects designed to open children’s minds to the world
Eco-citizenship
Exploring biodiversity
Eco-citizenship is a key focus at Lily School Paris.
We have held the International Education for Sustainable Development label since 2019.
This year, we have once again been awarded the prestigious Eco-School Gold Level!
Living in the city, we are surrounded by environmental richness that we strive to help children discover and appreciate through daily actions.
Intergenerational Connections
Growing with and through others
In partnership with the Quintinie–Procession Residence (Centre d’Action Sociale Ville de Paris -City of Paris Social Action Centre),
Lily School Paris organises regular and lasting meetings with elderly people.
These intergenerational exchanges play an important role, as they allow seniors to share their life experiences and knowledge with young children.
The goal is to strengthen bonds between generations and to highlight the benefits of these encounters — both for children, who learn from the elderly, and for seniors, who find joy, openness, and renewed connection through these shared moments.
Solidarity & Openness
Commitment, here and beyond
Since 2019, Lily School Paris has been sponsoring Naak, a young Cambodian pupil studying at Happy Chandara School (Toutes à l’École association).
Throughout the year, our students exchange with her — letters, school updates, and everyday news.
Since November 2024, we have also been supporting the “La Maison du Bonheur – Hakuna Matata” Orphanage in Conakry (Guinea), which welcomes vulnerable children and young mothers.
Our sponsorship helps cover essential needs, daily expenses, and access to education.
- Regular exchanges with Naak : letters, sharing, and updates about her schooling.
- Raising our students’ awareness of international solidarity throughout the year.
- Sponsorship of the orphanage : essential needs, daily care, and access to school.
-
A human adventure that helps children grow… and adults too.

Environnement chaleureux & bienveillant !
Nous sommes ravis de l’expérience de notre enfant à Lily School ! L’environnement est chaleureux et bienveillant, avec une équipe pédagogique à l’écoute et passionnée. L’approche bilingue est un véritable atout : notre enfant s’épanouit en apprenant naturellement l’anglais et le français au quotidien…
Très bonne école bilingue, activités diverses & variés
Mon fils se rend au Kid’s corner les mercredis après-midi depuis 2 ans maintenant. Aucun regret, très bonne maternelle bilingue – les intervenantes sont extras, gentilles, bienveillantes et pédagogues. Les activités proposées sont très diverses et variées : activités manuelles, activités scientifiques, compréhension à travers la lecture d’un livre…
We cant recommend this school enough !
Both our kids have been at Lily School for the past 1 1/2 years and absolutely love it. We love that our kids spend time outdoors, are encouraged to be curious , and learn things in a playful way and this in both english and french! The teachers are kind and patient. The kids get to play and learn in a small, protected but very diverse environment…
