Parents' views on the école M
Our first daughter has been at école M for two years. We are very happy with the education she received there. We have also registered our second daughter. The teachers are very committed. Gentle and caring with the children, they have earned their respect and are using their imagination to teach them the program in a playful and intelligent way. The practice of English is daily and with a native English-speaking teacher. Our child already has the rudiments of the language and is making daily progress in speaking. We emphasize personalized teaching as it is a small school. The family-school relationship is also positive. We will miss école M when our daughter goes to CP!

Our son entered école M when it opened in 2018. We enrolled him to take advantage of the bilingual environment the school offered. We found so much more! The school team is doing a great job. Our son has thrived in this caring environment, attentive to his emotions and abilities while teaching him about community life and respect for others. As parents, we have felt integrated into the teaching approach, thanks to regular meetings with the teaching team that allow us to connect what is happening at school and what is happening at home. This greatly facilitated the understanding of the moments of fulfillment or difficulty our son went through. We have also grown as parents! Our son now speaks English thanks to the presence of an English-speaking teacher throughout the day. This has proved invaluable during a long stay in the UK, as his mastery of the language has enabled him to take full advantage of the British school and his English speaking friends. He became a little 5 year old boy curious about the world around him, happy to explore it. It is now our daughter's turn to go back to école M, and we are curious and eager to see her grow up there!

Ecole M is the perfect school for our son, Lior (6 years-old). Ecole M has developed an innovative bilingual programme (English/French) with a good combination of modern education adapted to children's strengths, and most importantly their own interests, while cautiously keeping the red line of French national education facilitating the transition to elementary school (public or private) in France or abroad. Most importantly, Ecole M is accessible to all families generating a wonderful learning environment where children are exposed to many different cultures, nationalities and family backgrounds. We asked Lior whether he likes going to Ecole M (or joining Ecole M's daily video sessions during the confinement) and he said: "I love my school because I adore my teachers and have many friends, and I can go to the park a lot and I know all about English". We are glad to send our youngest, Roan, to Ecole from September 2020.

It is almost two years since my son Farhan started his schooling at école M in the 19th arrondissement in Paris. Paula and her wonderful team are very professional, maternal and very attentive to each child (small staff) .... At école M, the child is at the center of the "triptych" made up of the actors Parent-Child-Teacher. École M respects the rhythm of evolution of each child, taking into account his aptitudes and difficulties. This while setting the necessary rules to initiate them to the qualities that in the long term will help them to become tomorrow's citizens, responsible and free thinkers. Teachings are given in French and English. The staff is multicultural. Some courses such as the discovery of the world and daily life are life-size exercises. All these options seem to me to be significant assets for a child in today's world. The individuality of each student is cultivated, illustrated to be put at the service of the group. At école M my son learns the values that make a fair society (cooperation with his classmates, mutual aid, respect, to take initiatives, to set the table in the canteen and then clear it away ...) I regret that école M does not yet have a Primary section, I hope that it is only a postponed part, because I would gladly register my son there :) ! So it is without any hesitation that I would strongly recommend école M to any parent who shares my vision of school: the best school is not necessarily the one that is at the cutting edge of technology or a place of competition, but rather a crucible that looks after the well-being of the child while transmitting knowledge, without of course forgetting the primordial role of the parents.

Our little boy has entered a very small section inécole M. It is a school full of richness both pedagogically and humanly. The teachers are all passionate and committed, the atmosphere is very warm and friendly. The school is a small structure in which the children quickly feel very comfortable, even when they are very young. The year 2019 has not been easy and we salute the courage and inventiveness of the school which has reinvented itself and has been a great support during this period. A beautiful, well thought-out project that we warmly recommend.
