“A book is a window that the reader can escape through”  -  Julien Green

The Petite Ecole Bilingue receives children from the first through fifth grades (CP to CM2 in the French system) Monday through Friday. On Wednesdays, classes are held in the morning only.

In order to provide a truly bilingual education, the Petite Ecole Bilingue is a private, independent institution. The morning session takes place in French (classes in French, mathematics and history), and the afternoon session takes place in the selected foreign language (language and literature, computer science and artistic, musical and singing activities). All teachers and contributors are native speakers.

Our programs comply with the official instructions of the French Ministry of National Education. All of our teachers have degrees. .

Every day, after classes end, children may remain at the after-school centre or take part in artistic or music workshops (see “Extra-curricular activities”).

We place an emphasis on:

• small classes,
• a qualified, attentive, devoted teaching staff,
• adapting the number of supervising teachers and teaching assistants to the age and needs of the children,
• a programme that can be adapted to the age and learning pace of the pupils,
• supervision of children by teachers who are native speakers,
• learning several languages and using them to teach the other basic disciplines,
• an active approach that offers pupils a certain amount of autonomy, the pleasure of expressing themselves and of entering into discussion from the earliest classes
• a wide range of theatrical, artistic, musical and athletic activities presented by professionals trained in these disciplines, to encourage the children’s personal and intellectual development,
• helping each child in the group to acquire a sense of responsibility, to foster smoother integration of pupils from varied backgrounds.
  
  We accept children wearing diapers. Very quickly, children who come wearing diapers learn to imitate the children who are toilet-trained.
