Ellipse Montessori Academy

Ellipse Montessori Academy is a bilingual Montessori school located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris welcoming children from toddlers to Middle School. Since its establishment in September 2017, the school has been based on the Montessori pedagogy, an approach that aims to support the child’s natural development by creating an environment adapted to his needs and age-related characteristics. The teaching staff undergoes continuous training and pedagogical supervision at three levels: internally, by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), and by the Education Nationale. 

The mission at EMA is the pleasure of learning. Impart skills and knowledge necessary for the world of tomorrow, and ensure a solid academic foundation while representing each children’s unique personality. Children learn at their own pace in mixed-age classrooms, and the school offers personalized follow-up in accordance with the Education Nationale program.
