A letter from the Head of School
Welcome to Marymount International School Paris, where we embody the visionary spirit of our founder, Mother Marie Joseph Butler. Her bold dream was to prepare young individuals to challenge, shape, and transform the world. Our holistic education approach nurtures each student's unique intellectual, spiritual, creative, and physical gifts, providing them with a well-rounded toolkit. We instill critical thinking skills paired with empathy, a steadfast commitment to justice, effective communication skills, and a profound spirituality united with the courage to turn beliefs into action.
At Marymount, we empower our students to believe in themselves and embrace their inner potential. Our intellectually rigorous and constantly evolving curriculum encourages students to explore, create, and innovate. In our supportive environment, students take intellectual risks, ask thought-provoking questions, build self-assurance, and celebrate moments of personal growth.
Every student at Marymount holds a special place in our community. Here, they are seen, known, and valued for their unique qualities. In partnership with parents, we shape students into lifelong learners, ethical leaders, and catalysts for positive change. We invite you to join us on this exciting educational journey.
As a Catholic school focused on the full development of the human person, Marymount’s mission is to empower students from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds to think creatively, reason critically, communicate effectively, and learn continuously.
We seek to guide them toward their full potential by striving to prepare them both academically and spiritually to be lifelong learners and tomorrow’s agents for peace and justice.
