International School of Lille

The International School of Lille (ISL) provides a quality English-medium international education in the heart of northern France's largest metropolis. Situated in Lille -- France's fourth-largest city and the capital of the Hauts-de-France region -- ISL serves the substantial international and expatriate community working in Lille's thriving economy, which spans retail, logistics, automotive, and business services sectors. The school is strategically positioned at the crossroads of Europe, with Lille offering exceptional transport connectivity: just 35 minutes from Brussels by high-speed train, one hour from Paris, and just 80 minutes from London through the Channel Tunnel. ISL offers the International Baccalaureate curriculum from Early Years through to the IB Diploma, accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS). The school's bilingual approach, leveraging Lille's French-Flemish cultural heritage, gives students a distinct linguistic advantage. A warm, close-knit international community, dedicated faculty, and strong academic results make ISL a compelling choice for EU-based internationally mobile families. Extracurricular activities take full advantage of Lille's world-class museums, festivals, and proximity to the Belgian and Channel coast.
