Organisation of the school

It welcomes maximum 30 children aged three to six, with two educators and two educational assistants.
An English educator is present in the classroom two mornings a week.
Weekly activities are offered:
- A music class (Jaël Montessori method)

The Montessori materials include sensory materials, practical life materials, language and math materials, geography, and natural science. The educator supervises the children as they use the materials.
Outings, craft activities, drawing, painting, singing, and group sharing are all part of the classroom activities.
The children take turns setting and clearing the table, preparing snacks, caring for their classroom and the plants, etc. These are all part of the daily chores, which foster socialization and empowerment. Lunch is served at 12:00 p.m.
Children under four years old can attend part-time from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. without lunch or from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with lunch. Younger children take a nap in the afternoon.
Our 6 - 9 class
It welcomes maximum 20 children with a teacher and a trainee in Early Childhood Education.
An English-speaking educator works twice a week.
Weekly activities are offered:

- A visual arts instructor (two mornings per half-group)

- Regular outings are planned throughout the year (library, theater, museums, etc.)
The children continue and consolidate, always at their own pace, the learning initiated in the 3-6 year-old cycle: writing, mathematics, reading, English, and music. They also deepen their knowledge of geography, science, history, grammar, spelling, conjugation, and written expression. This learning adheres to the common core of national education.
The children take turns setting and clearing the table, sweeping up after the meal, preparing snacks, taking care of their classroom, the plants and fish, etc. A time for (collective) sharing is planned every day around 11:30 a.m., with the meal being served at 12:45 p.m.
