Ecolint teaches the full International Baccalaureate continuum across its three campuses — La Grande Boissière, La Châtaigneraie and Campus des Nations. As the school that helped create the IB, it remains a reference point for international education.
A genuinely global day school of around 4,450 pupils — 140 nationalities and some 80 home languages — built on a long-standing ethos of 'education for peace' and a child-centred approach.
Across its three campuses, Ecolint offers a wide co-curricular programme — sport, the arts and service learning — in keeping with its international, community-minded mission.
Admissions are child-centred and inclusive; with three campuses and broad demand, early enquiry helps in securing a place at the preferred campus.

Selecting the right school depends on a careful understanding of the student’s profile and long-term objectives — our advisory work focuses on aligning these elements.
