Our history
Our experience in international schools in France (Ecole Jeannine Manuel) but also abroad (French American School of New York and St George's British International School in Rome) has allowed us to note that many bilingual or English-speaking students returning from abroad did not have access to an educational structure to continue developing their level of English and to support applications to universities abroad.
Passionate about education and pedagogy and knowledgeable about international education and higher education; we, therefore, had the idea of proposing an online school concept.
Our mission
Our mission is to improve students' level of English within an academic structure with the possibility of validating this course of student with official exams (IGCSE, SAT, IELTS , AP…).
Morever, coupling English courses with individualized support in the orientation and the university applications process went hand in hand to help our students achieve their dreams.
Our experience as certified teachers, heads of department (Ecole Jeanine Manuel), university lecturer, academic director at FASNY in New York and University Counselor in France and abroad, means that we have accrued a mastery of academic programs, international exams and an understanding of the expectations of prestigious universities (Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, Berkeley, Yale etc...)
We are convinced that this perfect complementarity can guarantee the educational support and future orientation projects of your children.
