International School of Bordeaux

International School of Bordeaux (ISB) is the leading international school in the Gironde region, located in Mérignac, a suburb of Bordeaux near the international airport. Founded in 1988, ISB offers the IB Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, and IB Diploma for students aged 3 to 18. Accredited by CIS and authorised by the IBO, the school serves an international community of over 50 nationalities from Bordeaux's wine, aerospace (Thales, Safran), and professional sectors. ISB is known for its warm, family-oriented community and strong academic programme. The school's well-equipped campus features modern classrooms, science labs, arts spaces, sports facilities, and attractive grounds. Strong French language instruction enables students to engage with Bordeaux's extraordinary wine culture, UNESCO-listed architecture, and vibrant arts scene. ISB achieves solid IB results and provides university counselling for applications across Europe and North America. Bordeaux's remarkable transformation into one of France's most vibrant and liveable cities — with high-speed rail to Paris in just 2 hours — makes ISB an increasingly attractive choice for international families.
