Fondation Jeannine Manuel

Mission & Vision

Founded in 2004 under the aegis of Fondation de France, Fondation Jeannine Manuel is dedicated to promoting international understanding through bilingual education. The foundation supports Jeannine Manuel schools and other non-profit educational institutions that share this vision. By fostering innovation in education, it aims to advance best practices in teaching and to develop educators who bring these methodologies into the classroom.

Actions Led

Fondation Jeannine Manuel supports pedagogical research and outreach programs that extend beyond its own schools. It funds research grants, teacher training, and global workshops, inviting leading educators and organizing conferences to promote innovative teaching methods. Key areas of focus include inquiry-driven science education, natural language acquisition, and social-emotional learning through Well-being programs. Additionally, means-tested financial aid ensures that students meeting entry criteria can access education at its Paris and Lille campuses, regardless of financial background.
