ONCE UPON A TIME...

From our musical roots in 1988 to our flourishing educational ecosystem today, Koenig School represents over three decades of visionary growth. Our preschool launch in 2008 marked a pivotal expansion, with 2025 heralding our ambitious elementary program.

Currently nurturing young minds from Toute Petite Section through CE1/2nd Grade, we continue our upward trajectory—adding one grade yearly until CM2/5th Grade, with horizons extending beyond elementary education as we write the next chapter in our legacy of excellence.

Joy in learning is essential for academic excellence.

The research is clear: happy children learn better, retain more, and achieve higher academic success. Yet traditional education continues to treat happiness and achievement as opposing forces.

A Welcome from our Director of Education

Welcome to our bilingual school in Paris. As both an educator and a parent, I’ve seen firsthand the power of a learning environment that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and confidence. My own children had the opportunity to grow up in an environment where the arts, languages, and collaborative learning were not just part of the curriculum, but part of the culture. They discovered how to express themselves creatively, work with others to solve problems, and explore the world around them with openness and excitement. Today, they are confident and curious young adults, something I attribute in great part to the kind of education we offer here. At Koenig School, learning is alive. It is joyful, meaningful, and deeply connected to the real world. Our bilingual program does more than teach two languages: it opens doors to diverse perspectives and ways of understanding. It encourages students to think in multiple ways and to connect ideas across disciplines. Children learn through inquiry, collaboration, and creativity. They are encouraged to ask questions, take risks, and engage with challenging ideas in a supportive environment. We value creativity as much as academic excellence, and we believe that every child deserves to be heard. Walk into any Koenig classroom and you’ll see and hear this in action: children singing in two languages, solving problems together, and bringing big ideas to life through hands-on projects. Our teachers do more than deliver lessons – they guide, inspire, and celebrate each child’s growth along the way. We believe that education should nurture both the heart and the mind. We’re proud to offer a school community where every child is known, valued, and empowered to grow. Your family belongs here. With warmth and welcome, -Alix Ferrandon

What Koenig Stands For:

A complete education nurtures the whole child by connecting math to music, science to art, and movement to cognitive development. We develop intellect alongside creativity, physical abilities, and emotional intelligence, preparing children for fulfilling lives of positive contribution.

A Complete Education

Our school feels like family because parents from around the globe bring their unique stories, traditions, and warmth to our environment. From parent breakfasts to cultural festivals, each gathering strengthens the bonds that make our community truly special.

A Kind, Collaborative Community

We connect ideas across subjects while integrating social-emotional learning that helps children understand feelings and build healthy relationships. We celebrate mistakes as stepping stones to real growth, building curious, empathetic problem-solvers ready for whatever comes next.

Growth Beyond Grades

When your child creates music, they're lighting up their whole brain and building neural pathways that enhance problem-solving, language skills, and emotional intelligence. Our premier program transforms shy children into confident performers and analytical thinkers into creative forces.
