ELSA France brings together schools in France and abroad offering high to native-standard instruction in English

Connect and Communicate

Building on a growing international school sector, ELSA brings together international schools, specialists and institutions locally to promote high-standard English-medium instruction in France. Whether for support in setting up a program, insight in the regional or national offer, to solicit the mentorship of a member school or cooperate on a project, ELSA provides resources, expertise and connections.

Cultivate

ELSA organizes high-caliber in-person and online training around trending and relevant topics in education that meet the needs of a diverse audience through the annual conference, known as the Teacher Development Day, Spotlights on focused topics and webinars, extending invitations to world-class speakers and drawing on the high level of expertise of leading faculty and staff across member schools.

Themes and topics are carefully selected to meet the needs of a diverse audience and invitations are extended to renowned speakers and specialists in their field.

We also establish sponsorship for educational companies seeking to connect with local schools and educators.
