Paris as a Classroom

We believe our students should learn from doing, observing, exploring
Our students benefit from seamless access to the city of Paris for field trips, sports excursions, and other urban discovery and experiential learning opportunities.
Whether it is seeing new exhibits at the Pompidou, climbing to the top of the Iron Lady or descending into the sewers, Paris is our classroom.
Through this initiative, we facilitate over 70 local field trips into Paris each year, where students leave the traditional classroom to learn by inquiry, discovery, and action.

This week, the Grade 1 students had the opportunity to dive deep into the world of art and photography. As part of their inquiry into How We Express Ourselves, they took part in a fascinating Photography Workshop, where they learned how images can tell stories and express emotions. Through this hands-on experience, the students discovered the power of photography as a medium for self-expression and communication.
Their artistic journey continued with a visit to L'Atelier des Lumières, where they were surrounded by stunning digital art displays. The immersive experience allowed them to see how various forms of art can be interpreted in many different ways. The students’ reflections on these visits showcased their growing understanding of how art can convey personal ideas and feelings in unique and meaningful ways.
It’s inspiring to see how they are already embracing the idea that creativity has no limits in how we share and express ourselves!
Last week, the Grade 7 English Language Acquisition students embarked on an exciting field trip to the Louvre Museum. This enriching experience allowed them to delve into the fascinating world of Greek mythology, exploring iconic heroes and observing how these timeless stories have inspired art across centuries.
This hands-on learning experience beautifully complements their current unit, World Myths and Legends, offering students the chance to connect classroom knowledge with real-world cultural treasures.
Last week, ISP's Middle School DEIJB Club had the incredible opportunity to attend a masterclass at UNESCO headquarters in celebration of the International Day of Tolerance.
During this inspiring event, students engaged with global perspectives on fostering tolerance and shared their own insights on building inclusive and compassionate communities. Representing our school with pride, they contributed thoughtful ideas and meaningful dialogue, demonstrating their commitment to creating a better, more equitable world.
Well done to our DEIJB Club for exemplifying leadership, empathy, and purpose on such an important global platform!
