Learning Support Programme
The International School of Nice is a non-profit, co-educational, non-sectarian, Pre-K-12 day school providing Anglophone education for the international community in the Cannes-Nice-Monaco region.
The course of instruction follows models used by major international schools around the world. In Pre-K-5, the emphasis is on language and mathematical skills. Programs in science, social studies, music, arts and crafts, drama, and physical education round out the Lower School curriculum. French is mandatory and taught throughout the school. Skill development is common to all areas and particular attention is given to the student's own personal development. The curriculum of the High School (9-12) is aimed towards the IB. The school is a test center for the SSAT, PSAT, SAT I, SAT II, ACT, TOEFL and the Advanced Placement programs. An ESOL program parallels mainstream English in the Elementary and Middle Schools. The ISN has a strong music, drama and theatre programme.
The faculty has an average of 15 years of teaching experience and an average length of stay of ten years at ISN. Children from about 37 countries are represented, with American and British students making up 40% of the student body. Over 95% of the graduates go on to universities, primarily in the USA and the UK.
The school year is from September through June with classes meeting from 08: 45 through 15: 40. There are a number of extra-curricular activities. During the year all classes benefit from the cultural events of southern France and class trips are organized to Florence, The Hague and outward bound residential trips in the local national parks. There are outward bound trips to Tanzania and Morocco where students engage in humanitarian work.
The purpose-built facility has been occupied since 1987 and is located five minutes from Nice International Airport. It houses classrooms and laboratories, libraries, art and music rooms, computer laboratory, gymnasium, cafeteria, theater, playing fields and recreation areas.
Admission is open to all students for whom the school can design a suitable program of studies. The school is run by the French Riviera Chamber of Commerce.
