International School of Paris

As we reach the final day of classes, we’re reflecting on one of the year’s most memorable community moments: Growing Together—a special day that brought the ISP community together to celebrate the connections that make our school so unique. 🌱

More than 400 students, families, staff, leadership, trustees, and alumni came together to celebrate our shared journey and the vibrant community that makes ISP feel like home.

As part of the day, everyone received a piece of seeded paper—a symbol of growth, connection, and the future we continue to build together.

🌱 Have you planted yours yet?

We’d love to see it! Share your planting moment, tag , and use so we can follow your seed paper’s journey and celebrate how our community continues to grow.

Once part of ISP, always part of ISP. 💙

🎭✨ What a show!

Last week, our Middle School students wowed audiences with an incredible theatrical production, showcasing their talent, creativity, confidence, and commitment both on and off the stage.

This year’s unique promenade theatre experience invited audiences to journey through different spaces around the school, transforming familiar locations into magical performance settings. From life on land in the courtyard to underwater adventures in the Drama Room, and even a lively stop in the canteen, every scene brought something special to discover.

🌟 A huge congratulations to our student performers and production team, who worked tirelessly on every aspect of the show—from acting, singing, and dancing to costumes and stage design. Their teamwork, enthusiasm, and dedication shone through in every performance.

👏 Special thanks to Keely, our Drama and Theatre Teacher, for her vision, guidance, and leadership throughout the production. We would also like to thank all the staff members who supported the production behind the scenes.

And thank you to our families for your continued encouragement and support. Together, you help make experiences like this possible.

🏃‍♀️🏅 ISP was proud to host the European Sports Conference (ESC) Track & Field Tournament last week at Stade Georges Suant in Antony!

Over two exciting (and very warm!) days of competition, 19 ISP student-athletes from Grades 8–12 represented our school with determination, resilience, and outstanding sportsmanship across a wide range of track and field events.

👏 Congratulations to our medalists:
🥇 Stijn – Gold in Discus Throw
🥉 Varpu – Triple Jump
🥉 Lukas – 110m Hurdles
🥉 Oliver – Long Jump
🥉 Beatrice – 1500m Race
🥉 Boys’ 4x400m Relay Team (Cornelius, Stijn, Oliver & Daniel)

We were delighted to welcome talented athletes from fellow international schools across Europe, including ASM, ISG, and ISZL. Beyond the competition, the tournament was a fantastic opportunity to build friendships, create memories, and celebrate the spirit of international school sport.

A huge congratulations to all our student-athletes for their commitment, enthusiasm, and achievements throughout the event. Thank you to our coaches, staff, and organizers for making the tournament such a success, with special thanks to Carlos, our Director of Sports and ECAs, whose dedication and leadership were instrumental in bringing the event to life.

Graduation is often seen as the finish line. 🎓 But some of the most important learning happens in the pauses.

In the quiet moments between deadlines. Between friendships, mistakes, discoveries, and becoming.

At ISP, our Grade 12 students reflected not only on what comes next, but on what they’ll carry with them:
the conversations that changed them,
the perspectives that challenged them,
and the people who became home. ❤️

During this year’s ceremony, our keynote speakers — Jessica Lovejoy (Board President), Antoine Delaitre (Head of School), and His Excellency Pavlos Kombos, Ambassador of the Republic of Cyprus to France — reminded students to celebrate the journey, embrace reflection, and make space for pause.

Because the future moves fast. It always will.

And sometimes, the moments that shape us most are the ones where we simply stop long enough to notice them.

Congratulations, Class of 2026 ✨
Take the memories.
Take the momentum.
Take your time.

The future is yours! ✨

Last week at Ranelagh, our Grade 4 students brought their Unit of Inquiry to life with a delightful Fashion Show — a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and confidence. ✨

We are especially grateful to the resident experts within our parent community who generously shared their professional expertise from the world of fashion to support this special event. It was a wonderful reminder of how much our families enrich the learning experiences of our youngest students.

Many thanks to our French and Visual Arts Departments for the care, creativity, and attention poured into every detail. 👏

And of course, our students were the true stars of the show: confident, joyful, and immensely proud of all they had created together. 🌟

🏛️ Democracy Comes to Life for Grade 8 at the Assemblée Nationale 🇫🇷

Recently, our Grade 8 students visited the Assemblée Nationale as part of their Humanities unit on forms of government. This enriching experience gave students the opportunity to step inside one of France’s most important democratic institutions and see the government in action.

During the visit, students explored the historic building, learned about the role of the National Assembly in the French political system, and discovered how laws are debated and passed. The trip brought classroom learning to life, helping students connect concepts of governance, citizenship, and democracy with the real-world processes that shape French society today.

The visit sparked thoughtful discussions and curiosity, as students reflected on the responsibilities of elected representatives and the importance of civic engagement.

A memorable day of learning beyond the classroom! ✨

✨ History came to life for our Grade 3 students during their recent Paris as a Classroom visit to the Cité de l’Histoire! 🇫🇷📚

As part of their Where We Are in Place and Time unit, students explored interactive exhibits and discovered 400 key moments in French history through an immersive timeline experience. ⏳

This exciting field trip encouraged students to think about how history is recorded, how perspectives shape our understanding of the past, and how societies evolve over time.

A memorable day of inquiry, exploration, and learning beyond the classroom walls! 🌍

🌍 Celebrating Earth Day at the International School of Paris 🌱

At ISP, Earth Day is more than a date — it reflects our commitment to nurturing internationally minded, environmentally responsible citizens, aligned with the values of the IB.

Through inquiry, critical thinking, and meaningful action, our students engage with real-world challenges and bring sustainability to life across our community.

💡 From student-led initiatives to hands-on learning:
✨ ISPEC continues to inspire, with both the 10th Secondary edition and the very first Primary edition bringing together students from Grades 6–12 to explore environmental issues through workshops, collaboration, and discussion.
✨ Action Cubs empower our youngest learners to adopt everyday habits that make a difference.

🌟 A special milestone this year: Action Cubs and Eco Schools joined forces to lead the first-ever Primary ISPEC — carrying forward a legacy created by students in 2015. Our Primary students researched, created, and led engaging workshops, sharing practical eco-friendly ideas with the community.

👏 Bravo to our students for their leadership, creativity, and commitment to a more sustainable future!

Our Grade 4 students recently enjoyed their French Experience Camp at the beautiful Château du Broutel ✨

From exploring WWI history at the Musée de la Somme and local battlefields to tackling outdoor challenges and a memorable Mystery Hike by the sea, students grew in confidence, independence, and teamwork every step of the way.

An unforgettable week of learning beyond the classroom—full of discovery, connection, and joy.

Thank you to our amazing Grade 4 ACC Camp Team for making it all possible 🙌
