| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
We offer two types of programmes for children aged 3-18 who are fluent in English or German in the western suburbs of Paris (Boulogne, Saint-Cloud, Sèvres). Students in our Integrated programme are enrolled full-time within French public schools and take classes with our teachers. These children must be bilingual (French/English or French/German). Our extension classes take place on Wednesdays and are geared for children who are enrolled in the school of their choice but would like to develop, maintain and consolidate their English or German language literary skills and oral expression at the rate of native speakers. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
We follow a curriculum mapped to the educational frameworks of the UK or Germany. |
