The International School of Monaco has been ranked among the Top 15 private schools in Europe and the Top 150 globally in the 2024 Schools Index by Carfax Education, a well-respected education consultancy firm. 

According to Carfax Education’s 2024 Schools Index, the International School of Monaco (ISM) is one of the very best private schools on the continent, alongside the likes of Ermitage International School near Paris, ICS Milan International School, Vienna International School, the British School of Brussels and Lisbon’s St Julian’s School and St Peter’s International School. The International School of Nice also earned a place within the Top 15.

At a global level, the International School of Monaco is ranked among the Top 150 private schools.

Stuart Bryan, the director of ISM, has commented on the school’s achievements, saying, “We are thrilled to be once again recognised as one of the top schools in Europe and worldwide in the Schools Index by Carfax Education. This recognition reflects the hard work and commitment of everyone in our school community.”

Bryan also noted the inauguration of the ISM’s state-of-the-art new school building, which he believes will further enhance the learning environment for students in Monaco.

The Carfax Schools Index, now in its fifth year, evaluates schools based on various criteria, such as academic performance, preparation for university entry and overall ethos. Schools are assessed for their focus on life beyond academia, considering areas such as technology and sustainability. According to Carfax Education, the rankings provide prospective parents and students with a comprehensive resource for comparing elite educational institutions worldwide.

“The Schools Index has become a valuable resource for parents looking for the best education for their child, wherever they are in the world,” says Fiona McKenzie, Head of Education at Carfax Education. “The demand for excellent schools grows and remains fiercely competitive as parents strive to ensure their child receives the strongest foundations to set them up for a lifetime of success.”

How France plans to train the youth of today for the jobs of the future

From energy and digital technologies to agriculture, health, space and mobility, the €34 billion France 2030 scheme from the government is shining a spotlight on the wide array of training opportunities and job paths available to young people looking to start their journey in building a career in a “future-proof” industry. Now in its third year, the scheme recently unveiled a new programme with over 48,000 training places and an increased focus on sustainability and decarbonisation. 

The job market of the future will likely look very different from that of today. New possibilities, roles and even entire industries are being created at lightning speed, and the French Government wants to ensure that the nation will be able to keep up with this changing environment.

The newest programme from France 2030, an ambitious national investment plan worth €34 billion, will see 160 training facilities around the country offer 48,800 talented and motivated young people the preparation they need to take on careers in fields that will be in high demand in the coming years.

Jobs of the future

The transition to renewable energies, for example, will open many doors to those who have the skills to help in France’s quest to decarbonise the economy. Students of sustainable agriculture will also find themselves in high demand as land and crop management become increasingly important in maintaining a level of output necessary to feed the population. Those interested in biomedical research and development will see a spike in demand, as will those attracted to jobs in industry, where engineers specialising in connected factories, cybersecurity or artificial intelligence will be essential in modernising and optimising production processes. Work in the space sector is expected to skyrocket too, as the race to explore the final frontier grows.
