The early years of educational excellence
Discovery programme
Our demanding yet caring elementary school emphasizes mastery of the fundamentals and the daily practice of multilingualism. Particular emphasis is placed on building a solid foundation in mathematics and languages. The curriculum is also enriched with projects designed to develop students’ scientific and digital literacy, while encouraging their participation in sports and artistic activities.

French Italian English
Multilingual teaching:
Like the Preschool, the lessons are taught in both English and French. Days in English or French alternate throughout the week.
In Italian, the children continue their cultural and language learning with 3 hours a week. The pupils begin the study of the language (grammar, spelling, lexicon), they gradually learn to practice observations, to enter into organized reflections on the functioning of the language. In CM1 and CM2, students are divided into two groups, Italian as a foreign language and Italian as a mother tongue. Students integrate the level that corresponds to them in order to allow everyone to be accompanied according to their needs.
Accompanying devices in the three languages complete the teaching of the elementary school. Pupils can benefit from complementary educational activities of passing or support and the bridge device “passerelle” in French and English.
