  The École internationale bilingue (EIB) is a French teaching establishment, primarily based in Paris. The school teaches children from 4 to 18, from kindergarten to Baccalauréat and IB Diploma Programme.
  
  ## Origins
  
  Following the war, Jeannine Manuel had a mission: to work on international understanding through bilingual education, the mixing of cultures, and a constant educational drive to listen to the world, so in 1954 she created the École active bilingue (EAB) with the two "girls' establishments" which are today the École internationale bilingue (EIB) and the École Jeannine Manuel (EABJM). The first site of the EAB was a building on avenue de La Bourdonnais, which closed at the start of the 1990s.
