Contact Our School

Ombrosa International Bilingual School:
Ombrosa International Bilingual School has four locations near and in Lyon, south east of France. In Caluire, Ombrosa educates children from nursery level to final year of secondary school. The children most often come from Caluire, Val de Saône, Monts d’Or and, thanks to the extensive school transport network (accessible to all children from 1st grade upwards), the greater Lyon area.

The Institute is located just eight kilometres from the city centre in enclosed grounds. It boasts recreation areas, sports facilities and a school cafeteria. Nine buildings are spread over 15 hectares, enabling us to host all levels of students in areas specifically adapted to the needs and abilities of each one. These distinct generously-sized units promote safety and mixing, and also allow for a student’s school environment to progress as he/she moves through the years.

The site also features short-term parking areas for parents. There is a special designated route for school transport, with a parking area well removed from main traffic.


Location and Facilities:

 

There is a special library for primary pupils on the Lyon site at Caluire. Pupils can go there to read and to borrow books, notably English ones. The library is run by a particularly committed bilingual teacher with the help of other teachers and pupils.

The Library and Resource Centre in the secondary school is widely available to pupils.
