  • Creative Life in Paris

    Our close-knit community creates together in a historic building at 45 rue Saint-Roch, close to museums including the Louvre and the Gaîté Lyrique media arts center. Surrounded by galleries, shops, and cafes, your academics are enriched by the stimulating creative life of Paris. In October 2020, we are adding an annex campus, Paris-Romainville, at Komunuma, a new cultural hub of Greater Paris dedicated to contemporary art.
