My two daughters have been at Malherbe since we moved to France. The caring environment and the high-quality education made such a difference for our family. The teachers are simply incredible: they support each individual child, and they provide such a safe, fun environment where they can learn and thrive. The school staff is always responsive, and I feel so grateful for what they do every day.

Our daughters have been attending Malherbe since they were 2 years old. Beyond learning the language, which was our initial objective, we appreciate the family atmosphere of the school, which favours small classes to help the children progress.

Our son started at Malherbe School aged 2, with a big smile on his face. Eight years later he still bounces out of bed each day, happy and eager to go to school, to study in the caring, stimulating and unique multicultural learning environment offered by Malherbe. To put it in our son's own words: “You're making a really good investment for me at this school”!

The attentiveness and professionalism of the teaching staff provides the children with a real opportunity to achieve their best in a creative and happy environment. Children and parents immediately feel part of the school ‘family’ – it is an excellent and unique educational facility.

Malherbe International School was the perfect home from home for our two boys when we moved from the UK to France in 2022 for work. We all had a fabulous two years at Malherbe and are so grateful to the brilliant staff for their exceptional teaching, great pastoral care and help in integrating into a new culture. The boys were able to keep up with their UK education as well as learning French; this was the perfect combination for us as we knew we would have to return to the UK again. Thanks for everything Malherbe. We are so grateful for the experience we had in Le Vesinet.

What a wonderful school! Our daughter received tailored lessons and tons of attention from the teachers and administration at Malherbe, and made some of her best friends in France. It's a small international and French community, and has a small family feel to it. We appreciated so much everything that the school did to help with our transition to a new country, and with our daughter's education. Merci Malherbe!

We feel extremely fortunate that our daughter commenced her school career at MIS. She loves her school, her teachers, her peers, the range of activities, the excursions, the environment, the meals... everything. It is an extremely well-considered school that successfully balances academic achievement with a truly caring, nurturing, and fun environment, something that seems quite rare these days. It combines the best aspects of the British and French systems, whilst avoiding some of the downsides we feared when returning to Europe. The parkland setting and beautiful building add to MIS's charm and we have been impressed by the team's attention to detail and consideration for children's cultural enrichment in the subjects and teaching methods. We cannot recommend MIS highly enough.

Malherbe is an excellent primary school. They have great teachers and follow a strong British curriculum. Our son, who did not have any French language experience before, developed a strong French basis as well as thriving in English, Maths, Science and History. They provide extensive and high-quality term development reports and also accessible regularly through parent meetings. Malherbe's student body is quite diverse with respectful and well-developed kids. Our son quickly adapted to his new school and established some good friendships. We would like to especially thank Mrs. Snape, Mrs. Badri, Mrs. Malherbe and Mrs. Shippen for their outstanding support and leadership. We absolutely loved this school and recommend it to all families.

Our two children attended Malherbe International School between 2020 and 2022 and we couldn't have had a better experience. A very welcoming school, a place where family values are really felt. Sweet and very competent teachers who really care and are involved in the children's learning process (I would say it's a very personalized one to one accompaniment). A school that will remain in the best memories of our children. We highly recommend Malherbe International School!

Our 6 year old daughter is attending Malherbe school for the 2nd year. Her teachers are fantastic. Even during lockdown, they remained fully engaged with several zoom sessions every day. All the staff is very lovely and the PTA is very dynamic (lots of parties during the year, charities, ...) They have specialist teachers for science, PE, French, music and sport. My 2 older daughters attended an outstanding school in London (we came to Paris 2 years ago) and I can tell that Malherbe is even better. Highly recommended! If you have some doubt, come at pick up and drop off, you’ll see that all the kids are very happy to go to that school! If you can afford it, don’t hesitate!

Our twins have spent a year in MIS in Year 5, after having spent 2 years in an international school in Africa. The international environment and British curriculum helped ensure a continuity that helped our children to blend in very easily, while the mix with French program helps prepare a transition to French education system if need be. The way they adapt to children’s needs and potential makes a real difference. They also brilliantly managed distance schooling during confinement. We are extremely satisfied.

Our kids have attended nursery, pre-primary and Year 1 at Malherbe International School and it has been a fantastic experience. Small classes, brilliant teachers and a great parent community. Our children have been thriving throughout their early years at Malherbe and we can’t recommend this school enough. We highly recommend it.
