Ecole active bilingue Jeanine Manuel

What Ecole active bilingue Jeanine Manuel does

École active bilingue Jeannine Manuel is a French bilingual and international independent school founded in 1954 by Jeannine Manuel, operating three campuses in Paris (headquarters, 70 rue du Théâtre, 75015), Lille/Marcq-en-Barœul (with boarding/internat), and London. The school delivers bilingual French-English education from moyenne section through terminale and offers two terminal diploma pathways: the French Baccalauréat and the International Baccalaureate (IB). It is authorized by the French Ministry of Education, accredited by NEASC and the Council of International Schools, partnered with Cambridge Assessment, and affiliated with UNESCO. Its student body spans 80 nationalities, with explicit positioning around promoting international understanding through cultural mixing and supporting expatriate and impatriate families.

The business model is tuition-based K-12 education with ancillary revenue streams. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the firm operates a formal admission procedure including on-campus visits and presentation meetings, indicating selective enrollment. Supplementary revenue and brand extension are generated through Jeannine Manuel Academy, a wholly owned subsidiary offering Knock-Knock beginner English workshops, Wednesday Academy intermediate workshops, an Online English Programme, Summer & Science Camp, an AI Camp (hosted at École des Roches), and SAT/IELTS/TOEFL preparation courses. Supporting non-operating entities include the Association Jeannine Manuel Alumni, the Fondation Jeannine Manuel, and the Association des Parents d'Élèves. Distribution is direct on-campus enrollment across the three sites, with awareness driven through LinkedIn, Facebook, and X/Twitter and through external rankings such as IB Organization and French Education Ministry listings.

The firm is privately held, has no parent company or external private equity ownership, and does not disclose revenue. The 8-employee figure recorded in source firmographics appears inconsistent with a multi-campus K-12 institution of this scale and likely reflects a narrow data snapshot rather than total operational headcount. There are no publicly disclosed funding rounds, mergers and acquisitions, or leadership changes. Notable third-party validations include being named among the best IB schools in Europe and globally (IB Organization) and classification at the top of the Palmarès des Lycées Français de l'Étranger (French Education Ministry).
