International School Of Lyon. - Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon

Je souhaite partager mon expérience concernant cette école.
Mon fils a passé 5 ans au sein de l'ISL (jusqu'au bac).
Nous sommes français et souhaitions, avec mon mari, trouver une école à l'écoute et performante pour son futur.
Notre fils subissait un harcèlement scolaire dans son collège. Nous avons donc fait le choix de le changer d'établissement.
Notre choix s'est porté sur l'ISL et c'est la meilleure des décisions que nous avons pu prendre.
Notre fils s'est métamorphosé et a retrouvé le sourire.
Le fait que tous les cours était en anglais, était un beau challenge pour lui, et les professeurs ont été très à l'écoute et très patients.
A l'heure actuelle, notre fils poursuit ses études à OTTAWA au CANADA.
Un grand merci à cette école et à toutes les personnes qui ont croisé le chemin de notre fils.
Nous sommes persuadés que cette école a été un déclencheur plus que positif dans son évolution.
Je recommande cette école sans hésitation.

The school has an amazing variety of in-school clubs, like Model United Nations (MUN) and Robotics, which are not only fun but also help develop important skills like teamwork and leadership. There are plenty of other clubs as well, catering to different interests, so there's something for everyone. Overall, the extracurriculars really add to the school experience and make it easy to get involved and try new things.

Despite lacking some facilities, this international school does a good job in delivering a high-quality education. The curriculum is well-structured, and the teaching staff is dedicated, ensuring students receive a substantial and well-rounded learning experience.

We had an excellent experience at the primary school. The program is very diverse and at times even challenging. The teachers and the management are professional, enthusiastic and just genuinely nice people. All the administrative and organisational matters are also well managed.

My two kids (primary school) were absolutely happy in this school. There were great teachers and comfortable atmosphere in classes. We changed 4 private IB schools in different countries (because of my job and other circumstances) and believe me - beautiful pictures do not always mean quality education and a friendly atmosphere. The most important thing in a school is the teachers, and in this sense, this school can give your child much more than many others. Thank you ISL and all its staff, we will miss you!

My 3 children spent 3 years at ISL, from Kindergarten, primary school to middle school, and our experience was just amazing. It is a small school and yes, facilities are not very fancy, but, the experience they gained from ISL was much more than just facilities.

ISL provides a warm environments for everyone. Both my kids and us as parents, felt very welcomed from the beginning and kids blended in smoothly . Friendly teachers know all the students and even know their parents.

ISL provides sense of community. There are many cross grades interactions among students. Many students know each other and take after each other, younger and older.

PTA is very active and always make sure every new family is well integrated. Because there is no school bus, kids either take public transportation or parents drive them. But as a result it provides great opportunity for parents to meet kids’ friends and meet other parents.

Academically, ISL follows IB program, that was the introduction of the IB program for us and we intend to stick to it.

My two wishes are;
1) Wish there was more integration to French culture and language. Our kids French progress was not what we expected. School offered once a week extra French lessons if you have time.

2. Wish there was a better lunch system. School offers fresh food vending machines, such as salad and sandwiches. Unfortunately none of my kids could appreciate this service and I had to make lunch for 3 kids everyday.

At the end, ISL is a very diverse school. There are families from so many different countries so everyone is open minded and understands the difficulties of being new.

Our family made our life long friends through ISL. Sadly we left ISL last year to live in a different country. Our children attend a prestigious school with fancy facilities, cafeteria offers variety of food and school bus services. But they all miss ISL so much and wish to go back to Lyon. So those things really don’t matter at the end. It’s people who make you happy!

I'm not sure how ISL is these days, but I've studied there for 5 and a half years. It gave me precious things such as friends from all around the world, activities that helped increase my imagination. Especially learning logs and exhibitions!(I left before I got to do the exhibitions tho... too bad?) Not to mention the teachers. I personally loved them because they taught all students with care.
