International School of Lyon

International School of Lyon (ISL) is the leading international school in the Lyon metropolitan area, located in Écully, a residential suburb west of Lyon, founded in 1992. Educating students aged 3 to 18, ISL offers the IB Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, and IB Diploma. Accredited by CIS and authorised by the IBO, ISL serves an international community of over 50 nationalities from Lyon's pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries — Lyon is the world capital of gastronomy and hosts major corporations including Sanofi, Bayer, and Danone. ISL is celebrated for its warm, welcoming culture and strong academic programme. The school's well-equipped campus features modern classrooms, science labs, arts spaces, sports facilities, and a library. Strong French language instruction ensures students can engage with Lyon's extraordinary cultural life — the city's cuisine, festivals, silk-weaving history, and Roman heritage make it one of France's richest cities. ISL achieves strong IB results and provides excellent university counselling for applications across Europe and North America.
