Maternelle

Thinking about language is a complex practice that comes early to bilingual children. Students are not just learning words in French; they are learning how to think about the world in more than one way. Bilingual education has been demonstrated to improve fundamental social and emotional skills, including interpersonal communication and perspective-taking.

The process of switching between languages also strengthens a child’s ability to focus. 

During the Pre-K4 and Kindergarten years, the English curriculum expands. Evidence supports that learning a second language helps students excel in their first language and in the new language by building mental bridges that support their mastery of both.

Project-based learning

Children explore and learn through lessons that are project- and activity- based. Within a nurturing and fun classroom environment, students build the foundational skills that prepare them for elementary school.

Motricité and Movement
Starting with the youngest classes, gross-motor-skill development is a fundamental part of the curriculum with students participating in obstacle courses and physical challenges. Balance and coordination exercises help to further build students’ attention, concentration, and problem-solving skills.
