La Petite Ecole Bilingue - Stewart International School

What La Petite Ecole Bilingue - Stewart International School does

La Petite Ecole Bilingue - Stewart International School is a family-run private bilingual (French-English) preschool and primary school located at 8 Place de la Porte de Champerret in Paris's 17th arrondissement, operating since 1995 and part of the broader Stewart International Schools network that also includes two sister campuses in London (Clarendon Road and Kentish Town). The institution delivers a dual French National Education and British National Curriculum / Early Years Foundation Stage program from nursery (age 2) through Year 6 (CM2), with instruction split roughly evenly between French and English and delivered by certified native-speaker teaching staff supplemented by specialists in music, theater, visual arts, chess, and sports.

The school's core product is annual tuition enrollment, augmented by a portfolio of add-on services including after-school clubs (chess, Chinese, choir, art), Saturday Language Clubs (Russian, Chinese, Arabic, launching 2025), Wednesday workshops, and holiday camps during school breaks, several of which are open to non-enrolled external children. Operational differentiation rests on dual-curriculum compliance, small-class individualized attention, PTE Young Learners certification readiness through a Pearson partnership, and an extended-care model including daily homework help and after-school daycare until 4:30-5:30 PM. There is no proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or digital product surface; the school is a traditional service business whose principal commercial interface is its marketing website and direct campus enrollment.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through annual tuition fees billed on a recurring subscription basis, with ancillary fee streams from add-on clubs and holiday programming. Distribution is direct-to-consumer: families discover the school through its website and word-of-mouth referrals, book campus tours or appointments, and enroll children directly. The school employs approximately 15 staff at the Paris campus and is led by School Leader Nathalie Sidorenko and Academic Director Véronique Store, with the Henderson-Stewart family retaining founding ownership and no external parent, private equity, or venture capital involvement disclosed.
