OUR EDUCATIONAL PROJECT

High academic standards, built on individual attention

We watch how each child learns and adapt our methods accordingly. As the famous saying goes, you can’t judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree.

Differentiated teaching

Teaching adapts to the child, not the other way round.

Bilingual every day

French and English from the micro-nursery onwards.

A secure environment

Controlled access, CCTV cameras, children handed over in person.

All-round development

Motor skills, language, maths, logic, the living world, music.

THE SCHOOL

A school on a human scale

Three stages on one site

Learning carries on seamlessly from one stage to the next, with no loss of bearings.

A multidisciplinary team

Teachers, early years educators, nursery assistants and a nurse. Outside specialists complete the support we offer.

Purpose-designed spaces

Sensory room, nap room, dining hall, modern toilets with hot water, vegetable garden, garden, mini-farm and play areas. The school owns its premises.

DISCOVER THE SCHOOL
A TYPICAL DAY

A rhythm designed around children’s attention spans

Ten moments, from morning to home time, in pre-school and primary school.

1
8:00 am
Bilingual routines

Date, weather, nursery rhymes and register, in French and English. The morning’s landmarks are built in two languages.

2
8:15 am
Language activities

Vocabulary, storytelling and small-group discussion: everyone takes their turn to speak.

3
9:00 am
Movement and physical activity

Obstacle courses, foam blocks and balance games. The body lets off steam before the mind gets to work.

4
9:30 am
Snack and break time

A pause to recharge and play outside. The snack is brought from home.

5
10:15 am
Learning time

Maths, logic, French and English, in small groups. The teacher adjusts her instructions to each child’s pace.

6
12:00 pm
Eco-citizenship workshops

In small groups: the vegetable garden, the mini-farm, sorting waste and caring for the environment.

7
12:30 pm
Lunch

Lunch is brought from home and eaten in the dining hall. It is also a lesson in independence: serving yourself, clearing up, waiting your turn.

8
1:00 pm
Nap time

In the nap room, with the shutters closed. Older children who no longer nap have a quiet rest.

9
2:30 pm
Art

Painting, collage, modelling: every child goes home with something they made themselves.

10
3:30 – 4:00 pm
Home time

Children are handed over in person, with a few words about their day.

In pre-school and primary school. At the micro-nursery, the day follows each child’s own rhythm (meals, naps and care).

The school’s movement room

Enrolment is open

We admit children throughout the year, subject to availability. A conversation with the head of school and a visit come before you submit the application file.

OUR THREE STAGES

One continuous journey, from nursery to the end of primary school

Three stages, one team, one site.

SEE OUR WHOLE APPROACH
THE TEAM

A team trained to observe children

Teachers, early years educators, nursery assistants, a nurse and specialist practitioners, all working to one principle: finding out what helps each child make progress.

WHAT HAPPENS AT SCHOOL

The workshops that shape the week

Five workshops that come round every week.

1
Expression
Drama and circus

Speaking in front of others, daring to move and dress up. It all leads up to the carnival and the end-of-year show.

2
Hands
Pottery and modelling

The hand gets to work before writing does: pinching, rolling, pressing, smoothing. Every child goes home with what they have shaped.

3
Nature
Vegetable garden and henhouse

Sowing, watering and harvesting in the vegetable garden, feeding the hens and collecting eggs in the henhouse. Environmental education makes sense with your feet in the soil.

4
Listening
Music and dance

A music teacher comes in every week, with instruments. Dance carries listening on into movement.

5
Taste
Cooking workshop

Measuring, mixing, waiting for it to bake, then tasting together. The taste workshop also teaches patience.
