International openness

In 2026, New School is entering a new step of its institutional structuring with the launch of processes related to CIS and UNESCO.
This is not a communication announcement. It fits within a broader work of clarifying the educational project, formalising practices, structuring governance, strengthening student safeguarding and opening to the international scene.
The aim is to help the school progress in how it documents, steers and evaluates its practices: bilingual teaching, school climate, family communication, safety, citizenship, cultural openness and continuous improvement.
New School Lyon is not yet a member nor accredited by CIS. The membership application is a first step.
