What makes us different An educational approach inspired by high-level coaching, designed to reveal the potential of each student.
An international middle and high school designed to reveal every potential
Like thousands of young people, Patrick Mouratoglou was personally confronted with the rigidity of a standardized education system. It was from this experience that the Mouratoglou International School was born: the school he himself would have liked to have had.
Our conviction is profound: it's not up to the child to adapt to the system, but for the system to adapt to the child. A brilliant mind can easily fade away in an overly rigid environment, while another will need a deep listening ear, a personalized structure or an adapted rhythm to truly blossom. The Mouratoglou International School was not designed to oppose the system, but to repair it, by offering a place where academic excellence never sacrifices the human dimension.
Our international college and high school is distinguished by
- small class sizes (up to 20 students per class, often less)
- a culture of progress (objectives, methods, feedback)
- 2 sections (French and American) and 3 special timetable courses
- Dual Diploma
- 2 CIS and MSA accreditations
- a multicultural environment (+45 nationalities)
- an ultra-secure 12-hectare campus
