History of our Montessori Bilingual Private Schools
International, private, secular, Montessori and bilingual nursery schools... Welcome to a world open to the world!
Once upon a time • my school…
Created in 2012
After several years of reflection, research and preparation, Goli, founder of123 mon école, finally found the ideal space to set up her very first school, in the heart of Paris's 15th arrondissement, a stone's throw from UNESCO.
In September 2012, 123 mon école opened its very first class in a bright, spacious locationwith high ceilings.
The icing on the cake: there's a large courtyard where children can play outdoors.
On the first day of the new school year in 2012, a dozen or so students enrolled at 123 mon école. The adventure begins...
2012 to 2017: an ambitious educational project takes root
Between September 2012 and September 2017, 5 bilingual classes of around 20 children each were created, from the very young to the very old kindergarten section.
And so, step by step, the school took off, thanks to word-of-mouth from families and the remarkable commitment of the teaching staff, who have built123 mon école ' s.
And right from the start, the school took a stand by opening up schooling to children from the age of 2, something that was virtually unheard of in the educational landscape. In fact, more and more parents are asking us to do this, as the existing childcare arrangements for their toddlers are not meeting their expectations.
During these years, • my school has consolidated and enriched its pedagogical project, building on the relationship of trust that has developed with families.
123 mon école is an open and contemporary vision of Montessori pedagogy. The school's founder has established a horizontal, equitable management style and a working climate that is both friendly and demanding.
In 2017, 123 mon école in Paris is being deployed on two sites
In 2017, a new private nursery school opened its doors as an extension of the Rue Frémicourt establishment in Paris' 15th arrondissement. Located on avenue Lowendal, it provides schooling for children aged 2 to 3
In this school, 3 preschool classes have been created, just a 3-minute walk from rue Frémicourt, a school now dedicated to kindergarten pupils aged 3 to 6.
In 2020,123 mon école will open a new bilingual preschool and nursery school, a stone's throw from the Bécon-les-Bruyères train station.
Two schools in Boulogne-Billancourt and Bois-Colombes will follow in 2021 & 2022, catering for children aged 2 to 11.
The city, as well as the first families who trusted us, show us enthusiasm and recognition. Thank you to them...
Between 2020 and 2022, 3 new nursery schools will be built in western Paris
The passionate team at123 mon école feels its wings growing thanks to the families we welcome, who encourage us to deploy our approach toMontessori education, which is both anglo-saxonne et ouverte sur les réalités de nos modes de vie actuels.
En 2020, c’est à Asnières-sur-Seine, à deux pas de la gare de Bécon-les-Bruyères, qu’123 mon école ouvre une nouvelle école maternelle bilingue. Un petit groupe de parents, que nous appelons nos pionniers, nous font confiance et inscrivent leur enfant. Ils sont alors une dizaine. L’école, qui peut accueillir une soixantaine d’élèves, est à présent au complet.
Deux autres écoles à Boulogne-Billancourt et Bois-Colombes suivent le mouvement, en 2021 & en 2022, et accueillent maintenant des enfants de 2 à 6 ans. En 2023, chacune compte trois classes en activité !
Les communes qui nous accueillent, le Rectorat de Versailles, comme les familles qui nous ont rejoints, nous témoignent enthousiasme et reconnaissance. Merci à eux pour cette merveilleuse construction collective.
En 2026, une nouvelle école rejoint l’aventure 123 à Courbevoie
En 2026, une étape importante de l’histoire d’123 mon école s’écrit, portée par le développement d’une nouvelle section élémentaire internationale.
Grâce au rapprochement avec le réseau Montessori 21, 123 mon école assure la direction de leur école de Courbevoie à partir de la rentrée de septembre 2026. Située au 36 rue Louis Ulbach, au cœur du quartier des Bruyères, 123 mon école • Courbevoie accueille les enfants de 3 à 11 ans, dans un établissement lumineux et entièrement rénovée.
Cette sixième école s’inscrit dans la continuité du projet pédagogique de notre groupe scolaire.
Le cursus bilingue, en élémentaire, est assuré par des enseignantes francophones et anglophones, en s’appuyant sur le programme de l’national education et sur le programme britannique Cambridge, mais également FOSS pour l’apprentissage des sciences en anglais.
What about today?
More than ten years after its creation, the school has welcomed almost 1,000 students at its five sites in Paris, Asnières-sur-Seine, Boulogne-Billancourt & Bois-Colombes.
We hope to welcome many more children. Thanks to them, we meet so many families, stories and cultures, each more enriching than the last.
It's not just kids who grow up at 123 mon école !

The teaching and educational team
Our educators at 123 mon école have been trained at internationally recognized training institutessuch as the NAMC (North American Montessori Center), the MCI (Montessori Centre International) and, of course, the ISMM (Institut supérieur Maria Montessori). Most of them have been in post for several years, and hold diplomas at bac +3 / bac +5.
For some of these teachers, 123 mon école is the starting point of a second professional life, a strong choice of reorientation associated with a quest for meaning. Some have degrees in health, sociology, political science or cultural mediation.
The wide range of backgrounds and experiences from which the educators at123 mon école are drawn is both the breeding ground of our school group and our strength .
