Our Story

A Beacon of Excellence

Located within the boundary of the historic Foret de Marly, a short distance from Saint Germain en Laye to the west of Paris, Forest International School Paris (FISP) has been a beacon of excellence in project-based learning since 2003.

Following the English National Curriculum, delivered through the Pearson iPrimary programme, we seek to empower children aged 2 to 14 years old to learn through exploration, creativity and a direct interaction with nature.

For over twenty years, we have been a proud part of the Forest School movement, offering a wonderful education in the west of Paris.

Preparing for Real Life

We equip children with more than just academic skills. We foster the curiosity, compassion, and purpose they need to navigate an ever-changing world.

Learning by Inquiry

We believe leaders of tomorrow are those who ask the right questions. Our project-based approach connects learning to the real world, building critical thinkers and collaborators.

Our Approach

Values & Educational Philosophy

Child-Centered Education

We prioritize a "child-centred approach" to education and pursue educational excellence, recognising that each child is unique and learns best when they are happy.

Nature-Based Learning

All year round, we use the forest as an extension of the classroom where children learn through exploration and discovery.

Safe Learning Environment

We value every student as unique, ensuring learning occurs in a safe environment, without coercion, shame or humiliation.

Holistic Development

We provide child-led and project-based education inspired by Montessori and Waldorf-Steiner schools in an exciting, multicultural environment.

Intrinsic Motivation

By allowing children the freedom to explore their curiosities, we nurture a love of learning that is intrinsic and self-motivated.

Project-Based Approach

We guide students through a project-based approach that fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and helps them uncover their full potential.
