Who are we?

L'Ecole Koenig was founded in 1986 with 10 piano and flute students in a dimly lit sublet. By the beginning of the next school year, the school counted 100 enrollments across an expanded range of ages and instruments.

And we've never stopped innovating, developing and expanding our programs, faculty, facilities, and community. Today, we have over 400 students, dozen of faculty members, and alumni throughout the world. The results of the program are exemplary musically, linguistically, and humanely.

L'Ecole Koenig Preschool & Music School has been so successful that a second campus was opened in the fall of 2013, closely followed by a third campus inaugurated in September 2016. The world of L'Ecole Koenig resounds in these three facilities, all within a stone's throw in the heart of Paris's 15th Arrondissement.
