Primary school, from Ages 6-11
Primary school supports every pupil in acquiring fundamental knowledge, developing their independence and progressively building their critical thinking skills.
It is organised into two cycles, in accordance with the French national curriculum
From CP (ages 6-7) to CE2 (ages 8-9).
From CM1 (ages 9-10) to 6ème (ages 11-12), ensuring educational continuity between primary school and secondary school.
Our school offers a demanding, structured and supportive education that puts the pupil at the heart of their learning and fosters the joy of learning, reading, exploring, creating and understanding the world.
Building Strong Foundations
In Key Stage 1, pupils build the foundations of the French language in speaking and writing through explicit and progressive teaching. Reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar and speaking skills are developed every day to strengthen comprehension, reading fluency and a love of reading.ù*********
In Key Stage 3, these learning experiences are consolidated and developed in order to gradually lead the pupil towards independence. Pupils learn to understand and interpret a wide range of texts, construct arguments, organise their thoughts and write coherent texts. Reading aloud, debates, writing projects and the exploration of literary and artistic works all play an important role in learning.
Mathematics teaching is based on a progressive approach moving from the concrete to the abstract. Pupils manipulate, experiment, represent and then verbalise mathematical concepts in order to build secure knowledge.
In Key Stage 1, priority is given to number, mental and written calculation, problem-solving, quantities and measures, as well as geometry. Pupils develop fluency in basic calculations, learn to explain their methods and compare different strategies.
At Key Stage 2, pupils deepen their knowledge of arithmetic, fractions, geometry, data handling and logical reasoning. Problem-solving and investigative activities develop independence, critical thinking and self-confidence.
Alongside core subjects, pupils develop their curiosity, creativity and general knowledge through other areas of the curriculum.
At Key Stage 1, pupils discover the world around them through observation, eThey also develop their artistic awareness through art, design and music, while strengthening their motor skills and learning to cooperate through physical education and sport.
At Key Stage 2, pupils deepen their knowledge of history, geography, science and technology. They build cultural, historical and spatial reference points, develop a scientific approach based on observation and experimentation, and enrich their artistic culture. Physical education and sport help pupils develop teamwork, respect for rules and an understanding of healthy lifestyles.
All these areas of learning help pupils become curious, knowledgeable and open-minded, while developing their critical thinking skills.
An active and ambitious approach to learning
Our school encourages :
We support every child's progress through high expectations and individual care in order to strengthen self-confidence and the joy of learning.
Languages and cultural openness
Modern language learning occupies an important place in our international school.
From nursery onwards, pupils are introduced to the language and culture of their host country. In primary school, Romanian and English are taught by specialist teachers from CP (ages 6-7).
This approach fosters cultural awareness, communication skills and an understanding of the contemporary world.
The school offers modern facilities and resources to support learning.
«Every child learns at their own pace.»
What gives meaning to my profession is supporting pupils as they progress, helping them develop confidence, self-esteem and independent thinking. These are qualities that will stay with them throughout their lives in a constantly evolving world.
A relationship of trust with families
We believe that pupils thrive when schools and families work closely together. We therefore place great importance on open dialogue and a shared approach to education through :
Our inclusion team, comprising a coordinator, an educational psychologist, an additional support teacher and teachers specialising in French as the language of schooling (FLSco), provides tailored support for every pupil.
We also pay particular attention to pupils whose mother tongue is not French. Support in French as the language of schooling helps each child progress at their own pace and develop confidence and independence. French as the language of schooling, allowing everyone to progress at their own pace and develop their confidence and independence.
Cross-phase activities help ensure a smooth and coordinated transition between stages of education.
