Notre école élémentaire bilingue // Our bilingual elementary school
At the elementary level that children start to become fascinated with the "how" and "why" of everything. Using the skills acquired in the early (preschool) years, the elementary student becomes an explorer of the universe in a more profound way.

Children from 6 years old and over are entering a period of imagination, reason, socialisation and moral justice. While we are using this learning period to encourage them to explore and develop their academic skills, we are also encouraging them to think and understand the role they play as responsible citizens in the wider world.
Children in our 6-12 classes will spend an average weekly class-time of 12 hours immersed in English and 12 hours immersed in French.

Les élèves dans notre école élémentaire continuent à développer leur goût d’apprendre dans un environnement montessorien bilingue français-anglais (en moyen 12 heures d'enseignement en anglais et 12 heures d'enseignement en français par semaine), tout en se préparant petit à petit à l’entrée au collège ou dans une école secondaire internationale.
