A vibrant bilingual school in the heart of the South of France
ICS Côte d’Azur is a dynamic international school located in Sophia Antipolis, 25 km South-West of Nice, surrounded by 1,500 hectares of forest and green space—an inspiring environment where children are encouraged to connect with nature, explore and thrive.
Founded in 2006 and a proud member of Globeducate since 2018, the school offers a fully bilingual French-English education from Early Years through Primary. All students are supported to build strong foundations in literacy and numeracy in both languages, with tailored pathways in FLE (français langue étrangère) and EAL (English as an additional language) for learners aged 7 and up. ICS Côte d’Azur fosters a warm, inclusive atmosphere where families from France and around the world feel welcome and valued.
Guided by the IB Primary Years Programme, the school encourages inquiry, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. Learners benefit from immersive, hands-on experiences across subjects, with dedicated facilities for STEAM, frequent outdoor learning opportunities, and a vibrant calendar of cultural events. ICS Côte d’Azur empowers students to become confident, compassionate and globally minded lifelong learners.
