Families choosing the French Riviera as their home are often seeking more than sunshine and scenery—they’re looking for an international experience that sets their children up for global success. At the International School of Nice (ISN Nice), the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme offers exactly that: a world-class education rooted in academic excellence, whole child development, and global citizenship.
Why the International Baccalaureate?
Recognised by top universities around the world, the IB programme is known for its rigorous academic framework, but it offers much more than a strong academic foundation. It nurtures critical thinking, research skills, and intercultural understanding, preparing students not just to get into university—but to thrive there.
The IB develops lifelong learners who are curious, compassionate, and equipped to take on real-world challenges. At ISN Nice, we offer the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP)—providing a seamless, holistic journey from Early Years through to graduation.
The Riviera Advantage
Enrolling in the IB on the French Riviera offers families a unique opportunity to combine the benefits of international education with the beauty, culture, and lifestyle of one of Europe’s most desirable regions. Students at ISN Nice experience:
- A Multicultural Learning Environment: With over 60 nationalities represented, students gain global perspectives both in and out of the classroom. Learning alongside peers from around the world fosters empathy, adaptability, and international mindedness—key qualities for tomorrow’s leaders.
- A Truly International Curriculum: As an English-language IB World School, ISN Nice delivers a globally recognised curriculum tailored for internationally minded families. Students learn through English, with daily French classes supporting language development and helping them connect with the local culture. Whether students are joining us for a short stay or for the full school journey, our programmes are designed to support smooth transitions and future flexibility.
- Community and Connection: Many ISN families are internationally mobile, and the school community is built on warmth, support, and shared values. Students and parents alike benefit from meaningful friendships and a strong sense of belonging, creating a home away from home.
Personalised Pathways for Global Futures
At ISN Nice, the IB framework is enriched by innovative, student-centred teaching, a strong focus on wellbeing, and dedicated pathways tailored to students’ passions and goals. From our Marine Learning Hub and Space Centre to a thriving extracurricular programme, students are empowered to take initiative, explore new interests, and build leadership skills.
We understand that our families are looking for more than just a school—they want a community that values academic ambition as much as emotional wellbeing. That’s why we offer a comprehensive pastoral care programme, a full-time school psychologist, and a team committed to knowing every child.
Part of the Globeducate Group
As a proud member of Globeducate, one of the world’s leading international school groups, ISN students benefit from a network of over 65 schools across 11 countries. This opens doors to exclusive opportunities such as international sports tournaments, academic competitions, leadership conferences, environmental and sustainability projects, and cultural exchanges. Whether it’s attending a Model United Nations in Portugal or collaborating on climate action with students across Europe, ISN learners develop confidence, leadership skills, and global awareness through real-world experiences.
A Launchpad for University and Beyond
Graduates of ISN Nice go on to attend leading universities in the UK, USA, Canada, Europe, and beyond. The IB Diploma is highly respected for its depth, breadth, and emphasis on independence—qualities that university admissions teams are actively seeking.
Whether your child dreams of engineering, medicine, law, the arts, or entrepreneurship, the IB at ISN Nice provides the foundation, guidance, and global outlook to help them succeed—wherever their path leads.
