Les Locaux / Our classrooms & gardens
Our children's garden overlooks a beautiful chateau. The chateau was originally part of the King Louis XIV domaine in 1700. It has recently been classified as a 'monument historique'.
La maison des enfants // The children's house

L'école élémentaire / Elementary school classrooms
Les classes 6/9 et 9-12 ans ans sont situées dans l'Orangerie et au premier étage du cottage. Au fur et à mesure de l'apprentissage dans cette ambiance, l'enfant est de plus en plus guidé pour compléter son savoir.
The 6 to 9 and 9-12 elementary years old classrooms are located on the first floor of the Orangerie and the Cottage. As children progress and their knowledge develops, they develop more autonomy to be able to work on projects together or individually.
The elementary school includes :
- 2 classrooms
- Lunch and art room
- Music room (private piano lessons are available)
La classe d'anglais / The English classroom
La diversification se fait progressivement avec l'apprentissage de l'anglais. Au début, les enfants qui commencent leurs apprentissages en anglais se focalisent sur des thèmes plus simples. Les enfants plus aguerris en anglais à leur entrée dans l'école débutent directement avec des matières d'anglais, science et la géographie en anglais.
Children with a more basic level in the English language focus on developing their rudimentary language skills while also learning about science and geography. As each non-bilingual child's English skills develops, they will take on ever more challenging work.
Children who are fluent or bilingual in English deepen their knowledge and understanding of geography and science. They will further their creative writing abilities as well as oral and written comprehension.
Our English teacher will talk to each parent about whether your child is ready to take the English Cambridge exams and parents decide whether they wish to have an
end of year assessment of their child's English abilities or not.
La cours de récréation / The children's garden
La cours de récréation est recouverte depuis fin 2013 d'un revêtement drainant empêchant les enfants de se faire mal en tombant et de rentrer couvert de boue.
The children's garden was entirely renovated at the end of 2013. A new synthetic surface was put down. This has helped ensure the safety of the children and has been particularly effective at preventing them from getting muddy during the rainy Winter months.
