INSEAD International School

Located near the world-renowned INSEAD Business School in the royal town of Fontainebleau, south of Paris, this international school community serves the families of INSEAD MBA students and faculty. The school and associated educational services cater to the extraordinary transient international community created by INSEAD's 10-month MBA programme, with students and families from over 90 nationalities. Fontainebleau's magnificent royal château, vast forest, and charming town centre provide an exceptional quality of life. Several local bilingual and international schools serve this community, offering French-English bilingual education and English-language programmes. The Fontainebleau area is one of the most internationally diverse communities in France outside Paris, given INSEAD's presence. Families benefit from Paris's proximity (45 minutes by train) while enjoying Fontainebleau's beautiful natural environment. Connections to Sciences Po, Polytechnique, and France's other grandes écoles — all accessible from Fontainebleau — enrich the educational environment for the children of this remarkable global academic community.
