The school
A school on a human scale
Every child learns in their own way. We observe how yours does, then build our teaching on it.
At Carrefour Régie, up the hill opposite Tradex Dragage, a small school opens with one simple idea: taking the time to get to know and understand every child. Since then, it has grown at the pace of its pupils: a new class only opens when the team is ready to welcome it.
The star fruit — carambole in French — keeps its secret well: slice it, and every piece becomes a star. We believe the same is true of children. Each one carries a star inside; our role is to help it shine.
Micro-nursery, pre-school and primary school follow on from one another without the child losing their bearings, with the same team and the same methods.
Combining high standards with kindness: bringing out each child’s abilities by nurturing a love of learning, independence, creativity and discovery.
Fifteen photos to browse through our premises. Every classroom has its own reading corner, at child height.
Tastefully fitted premises, for the children’s greatest comfort.
It is the school’s first value, and the first question families ask. Here, plainly, is what we have in place.
Cameras covering corridors and shared spaces.
The site is enclosed, with a single point of entry.
A constant presence, including outside school hours.
Nobody comes in without being identified at reception.
First-aid kit, fire extinguishers, trained staff.
Displayed in the school and known to the whole team.
Finger-guard doors and soft flooring under the play equipment.
Children are only released to a parent, never to an unannounced third party.
Activities are also offered during the school holidays, on registration.
The school provides school supplies and early learning materials.
The family brings lunch, a snack and, for the youngest, nappies and milk.
Uniform is not compulsory.
A few words about the day at every pick-up, a progress book for every child, and open, ongoing communication.
By phone or on WhatsApp, you’ll always get a quick reply.
A filmed tour, then photos taken by the team over the weeks, in the classrooms and in the playground.
