Teaching approach of the school

Ecole Mosaic offers a bilingual education in French and English for children aged 3-12 years old.  The school follows a bespoke integrated curriculum based on the PER – Plan d’études Romand, the French curriculum from the French ministry of Education and on the English National Curriculum.

To confirm the quality of the curriculum, students take exams or standardised tests in English or French.

The education that Ecole Mosaic offers goes beyond a purely academic school programme, not only to make students aware of other subjects or sports, but also and above all to encourage the development of other human and intellectual skills. As an example of this, Ecole Mosaic integrates theatre into the curriculum from the age of three, as well as pursuits such as sailing, hip hop and more.
