Overview
CIPEC (Centre International pour l’Éducation et la Culture) was established in 1984 as the first bilingual international kindergarten and primary school in Provence. In the picturesque Domaine Fontvieille, the charming Provencale bastide is set on 2 hectares of land in the tranquil Aix-en-Provence countryside.
At CIPEC, we create an enriching environment where children of all nationalities can learn, share, and celebrate their cultural variety. We offer an innovative English-French bilingual curriculum, welcoming 180 children from diverse backgrounds around the world. Approximately 55% of our student body is made up of international students, while 45% are French. We take pride in our rigorous academic standards, providing opportunities for students to prepare for recognized certifications such as DELF and Cambridge exams.
Our mission is to prioritize the personal development of each pupil, emphasize English-French bilingualism, ensure superior teaching through small class sizes (maximum of 18 students), and focus on educating children in the heart of nature. Our classroom spaces feature a series of yurts, providing a unique and inspiring learning environment, while our playground is nestled within a forest area, allowing children to explore and connect with nature.
