The École Active Bilingue Jeannine Manuel (EABJM) is an elite private day school in Paris, France. It was founded in 1955 by Jeannine Manuel, and also has a separate boarding school campus in Lille. EABJM is known for its rigorous bilingual (French and English) curriculum. Classes in both English and French provide students of diverse nationalities the opportunity to reach a high academic level in both languages. The campus consists of several buildings, the most important being 70 and 65 rue du Théâtre, in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. The preschools are nearby at the Suffren and the Dupleix campus, also in the 15th arrondissement. The school is one of the few in France that offers the International Baccalaureate alongside the Option Internationale du Baccalauréat and the French Baccalauréat.

The current head of the school is Elisabeth Zéboulon.

With its privileged underpinning the school prides itself in promoting social and cultural diversity. It offers bilingual students the opportunity to learn many additional foreign languages including Chinese, which is offered to students ages 8+.

A Jeannine Manuel Scholarship is available for students unable to meet the financial requirements.

The school is attended by many children of celebrities, politicians, diplomates and business magnates. The admissions process is rigorous and includes previous academic records, parent recommendations and interviews.

EABJM graduates matriculate to a very high academic standard, and many go on to pursue higher education in the United States, Canada, UK, France and many other countries in the world. In recent years many students have been admitted to the prestigious universities in France, America and the UK, including (Pantheon-Assas Paris II University, Paris West University Nanterre La Défense, Paris-Sorbonne University), (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Duke, Columbia, Cornell University, Cornell Law School, Brown, Berkeley and UPenn), liberal arts schools such as Middlebury College, Wellesley College, Wesleyan University, Swarthmore College and Amherst College, as well as Oxford, Cambridge, University College London, London School of Economics, King's College, London.
