A Unique Boarding Experience in Paris

At Ermitage International School Paris, boarding is much more than a place to stay. It is a vibrant international community where students aged 11 to 18 live, learn and grow together in a safe, supportive and inspiring environment. At Ermitage International School Paris, boarding is more than accommodation: it is a life experience, where boarding students, aged 11 to 18, come from around the world to live together in a safe, supportive, nurturing and welcoming environment.

Living together encourages students to share their cultures, build lasting friendships and grow into confident, open-minded individuals ready to contribute to a global community. They develop independence, responsibility and strong interpersonal skills, supported every day by our dedicated and caring boarding house team.
