Founded in 1963, the ISC Paris Group is one of France’s few private,
independent higher education groups–founded by business and educational
visionary Paul Icard.
Icard’s vision
In the ISC Paris Group, we are committed to keeping Paul Icard’s
groundbreaking inspiration alive. We strive to be the top educational group for
Action Learning and management education, with an emphasis on active
instruction, the student experience, innovation, and multiculturalism–all for
the benefit of our students’ personal and professional growth.
The ISC Paris Group focuses on two “educational brandsâ€:
ISC Paris Grande École is one of the top 20 French Grandes Écoles that
belong to the Conférence des grandes écoles. ISC Paris holds three
international accreditations: AACSB, AMBA, and EPAS.
ISC Paris Global Programs is a leader in developing specialized degree
programs that require three to five years of university study after high school
(Bac+3 to Bac+5 in the French system), and Executive Education programs.
