The School

The school is situated in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, imperial city renowned for its medieval castle, its picturesque architecture as well as its gigantic forest bordering the biggest city centre west of Paris.
At a mere 100 metres of the city centre and a short 3 minutes’ walk from the “Place du Marché Neuf, the school benefits of one of the most privileged locations.
Dating back to the XIX century and listed as historical heritage of the city of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the school instils a feeling of greatness and excellence to its pupils.
With 2 buildings totalling 300m2 and a lush green playground, the school is an exceptional haven for the many nationalities that attend.

At the heart of Habi resides a stringently elaborated architectural concept.
Colourful and ergonomic by design, it was conceived to boost the development of the children and stimulate their creativity without making them feel inadequate nor over-stimulate them.
It combines the ancient nature of the establishment, singularities of which have been preserved to modern and adaptive materials, combining authenticity, elegance and modernity.
An architectural concept which goes hand in hand with Habi’s academic programme which aims at rejuvenating the British Curriculum all the while preserving its particularities.
Colours being an impactful factor on children’s state of mind, it is necessary to find the perfect middle ground to not blight them…
We have opted for an interactive school to allow the children to express themselves freely and give free range to their imagination.

The school is located at the heart of a residential area.
The “d’Hennemont” street, recently renovated by the city, is equipped with a bike lane and has excellent parking possibilities.
Even though only a stone’s throw away of the city centre, this street sees little traffic throughout the day and has a larger than normal sidewalk.
Parents can therefore drop of their children with total peace of mind and the children can circulate in a safe environment.
