- Start of the 2019 school year: 125 children; relocation of the entire structure to Compiègne (objective: takeover of the entire La Faisanderie site in September 2021, occupied by the IME). Half of the staff moved to La Faisanderie, the other half to the pavilion of the former Guynemer school;^4th grade opened. GS and CP placed under contract.
- Start of the 2020 school year: 160 children (middle school at La Faisanderie, primary school moved to Villa Guynemer); opening of^3rd grade. School year financially impacted by Covid-19.
- Start of the 2021 school year: 170 children from Reception to^{Year 10}. Impact of the health crisis: project to take over the La Faisanderie site abandoned (the IME, the main tenant, no longer has the funds to build its new site and is staying at La Faisanderie! Open World has to move elsewhere).
- Start of the 2022 school year: 160 children from MS to^3e. Recurring problem: premises! Enrolments restricted. Urgent search for permanent solutions.
- Start of school year 2023: 150 pupils from PS to^3e(lease extension accepted for a further year at Villa Guynemer (primary) and La Faisanderie (collège)). Project abandoned in Compiègne, project relaunched in Lacroix Saint Ouen (construction project underway).
- Back to school 2024: 180 students. Inauguration of the new buildings in Lacroix Saint Ouen! In September 2024, Open World International School reached a new decisive milestone in its history. After 7 months of construction – a record time to build a new 1200 m² school! – Open World is finally permanently established. Thank you to all the individuals, institutions, and companies who believed in us and helped us meet this challenge.
