Discover an example of a typical school day below:
Staggered and personalized arrival for children (for early arrivals, free play, drawing, reading...)
Gathering of all students for the start of the day (songs, routines, movement activities...)
Two teachers divide up the responsibilities: small-group workshops on a specific theme, independent activities of the students’ choice, and a physical activity session for everyone.
Recess in the park near the school.
The morning concludes with a group gathering where students can share what they did.
Lunch takes place in the classroom with the teachers: the children help set the table, eat in mixed-age groups in a calm and friendly atmosphere, and then help clear the table and tidy up.
Flexible nap time is offered for children who need it, with no age limit, and quiet activities are provided for those who do not nap.
In the afternoon, activities take place in the classroom with the teachers. The children gradually rejoin the group after their nap for more playful activities: choir, music, cooking, science, and art.
Staggered departure for children not staying for after-school care. Teachers inform parents about the day's events.
The after-school program is conducted entirely in English. A nutritious snack is served around 4:00 p.m., followed by workshops and games. The day ends with free time.
Children can have lunch at school, either by bringing their own packed lunch or by choosing meals provided by the school.
Prepared by our partner Ekilibre with a nutritionist specializing in young children, the meals offered by the school include 50% organic products. A vegetarian option will be available daily.
As the meal is an activity with a high pedagogical value, the children are supervised by the teachers in small groups, to preserve the concern for service and a warm atmosphere.
Children from families who wish to do so may also have lunch outside of school.
