ICS Côte d’Azur, Sophia Antipolis

About

ICS Côte d’Azur is the only bilingual primary school on the French Riviera to combine a true 50:50 English-French immersion split with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). Welcoming children from ages 2 to 11, the school’s balanced bilingual curriculum seamlessly integrates the IB framework with key elements of both the French and English national curricula, giving students a native-level command of both languages.

Situated in the heart of Sophia Antipolis, ICS Côte d’Azur (originally founded as EBICA) is renowned for its small class sizes, personalised attention, and high academic standards. Learning here is active and student-centered, featuring a strong emphasis on outdoor learning, creativity, and STEAM education. Students thrive in a caring, multicultural environment that fosters curiosity, independence, and open-mindedness.

ICS Côte d’Azur is a proud member of Globeducate.
