ISL is a not-for-profit independent international school in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, set on protected woodland with purpose-built facilities on its own grounds. The campus features light, spacious classrooms around a central atrium, with dedicated spaces for art and design, music and movement, ICT, and a large library shared by primary and secondary. The school serves ages 3 to 18 and offers three programs: the IB Primary Years Programme, Cambridge IGCSE, and the IB Diploma Programme. In Grades 9–10 students take Cambridge IGCSE; Grades 11–12 prepare for the IB Diploma, with an ISL Diploma available if the full IB Diploma is not pursued. ISL emphasizes inquiry-based, real-world learning through cross-curricular projects such as Leading Your Learning, the STEAM Project, UN SDG initiatives and the Grade 8 Personal Project. The campus provides on-site PE and arts facilities, access to municipal gym and pool, and outdoor spaces including a multi-sport field and amphitheatre. ISL is regularly inspected by the French National Education Ministry and reinvests enrollment fees to improve the learning environment.
Located in the picturesque town of Le Bourget-du-Lac, Collège multilingue de Savoie serves students aged 11 to 15 (6ème to 3ème) as part of the Ombrosa International School network. The school offers a bilingual framework where students follow the National French curriculum alongside Advanced English. Notably, History and Geography are taught directly in English, while German and Spanish are offered as additional subjects. A defining feature of the campus is its intimate scale—current enrollment is approximately 21 pupils, allowing for highly personalized instruction with class sizes of four to six students. This serene Savoie setting prepares pupils for their subsequent education by encouraging participation in the Diplôme National du Brevet and Cambridge IGCSE exams. Students benefit from an adapted transportation service, and this foundational middle school experience ensures a seamless transition to the main Lyon campus, where they can pursue the International Baccalaureate (DP).
