Fondation Jeannine Manuel was established in 2004 under the aegis of Fondation de France to promote international understanding through a bilingual education. The foundation supports the Jeannine Manuel schools and other non-profit educational institutions that share the same vision.

The foundation believes that improvement in education depends upon harnessing innovative best practices and developing the great teachers who will put them to work in the classroom. Accordingly, we support pedagogical research and engage in program outreach to other students. Projects supported by the foundation range from research grants to workshop attendance around the world, inviting leading educators, organizing conferences and, more generally, promoting new pedagogical practices, notably in the inquiry-driven teaching of science, the “natural” learning of languages, and the implementation of social and emotional learning through Well-being programs.

Means-tested financial aid makes it possible for students who meet our entry criteria to take up a place at our campuses, in Paris and in Lille, irrespective of parental income.
