École Jeannine Manuel
The École Jeannine Manuel is a private day school in Paris, France, founded in 1954 by Jeannine Manuel. École Jeannine Manuel is known for its bilingual (French and English) curriculum. The school also offers instruction in many additional foreign languages, including Chinese, which is mandatory from ages 8 to 10, Spanish, German, Italian and Latin. The school is one of the few in France to offer the International Baccalaureate alongside the Option Internationale du Baccalauréat and the French Baccalauréat. An associated UNESCO school, École Jeannine Manuel is also contractually part of the French national education system. According to the International Baccalaureate ranking, it is one of the best ranked IB schools in France according to IB exam results of May 2004 and onwards.
The main campus consists of several buildings in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, the most important being 70 and 65 rue du Théâtre and 115 avenue Émile Zola. The preschool is located nearby at the Suffren and Dupleix campuses, also in the 15th.

In recent years many students have been admitted to universities in France, America, Canada, the UK and other European countries.
