history
Notre Dame International High School in France is located on a large, picturesque, and historical land that is surrounded by gardens and trees. This school was established by the Congregation of Notre Dame in 1992. The school’s main building is beautiful, spacious, historical, and more than 100 years old.
Its land has a rich history. It used to belong to an aristocratic family back in the 16th century.
After the revolution, the owners left the property, and it remained uninhabited for many years. Until 1802, when one of the descendants of the family inherited the land and took residence there. The building housed numerous residents, including a famous author, François-René de Chateaubriand, until the year 1929, when the Congregation of Notre Dame bought the property and established this school.

accommodation
By attending Notre Dame International High School in France, students are faced with a wide range of accommodation options. Students are faced with two different opportunities; boarding accommodation and host family accommodation. Those who choose the boarding accommodation option can take residence in the campus dorms.

It must be mentioned that those who choose boarding accommodation must be at least 15 years old.
Students also have the option of staying with a host family for the duration of their education as well as their breaks. This gives students a better understanding of French culture and language. These families speak in French, therefore, students need to be somewhat fluent in French to be able to communicate properly. These families have been carefully selected by the school and provide students with a warm, welcoming, and loving environment. Students become a member of these families rather than merely guests. This option costs up to 6400 euros a year.
Additionally, there are mixed options for students with special situations or those who wish to experience both settings. Students can choose a 5‐Day Weekly Boarding with Weekend Homestay, which costs around 8000 euros per year.
