as well as returning to a classic course at any time with solid foundations and fluent English in addition!

A smooth transition
Before 6, children are still learning every day routines and living together, they slowly
learn new learnings.
Our specific accompaniment allows children to freely play games and move as to
integrate progressively rules of living together.
Everything has been thought as to respect one's rhythm : in the classroom, diapers are accepted and the teaching of being diaper free comes within the right time. Children also enjoy nature everyday.
Bilinguism 50% French, 50% English
We welcome children who are French or English beginners.
3 passionate professionals, qualified and with a strong experience, take care of the children : one French teacher, a care et an English teacher. For a complete linguistic immersion, each teacher builds its program and only speaks its native language.
They use comforting words and attitudes for the English and French children to live together and speak fluently rapidly.
For them to reach this aim, we also offer extra tuition.
A rich and dynamic multi level system
Children often learn by imitating older ones. They adopt social codes and feel more at ease in a mixte small age group. Social science have already proved these last 40 years that a heterogeneous group is beneficial for children.
In our school, children access to their own knowledge without having to pass in September to the upper classe, doing curiosity-driven work.
Together, lets experience great adventures !
Together, we are going to experience great adventures and learn all main topics in a playful way ! It is by experimenting and by doing scientific manipulations that children start learning and this answers to all their questions : Why is it flowing ? How does it float ? How many cones represent mum's age ? Who is older or younger than me ? How do I write my name ? And my friends'.....?
Important world topics are always a good inspiration to approach a concept :
Space, volcanoes, children of the world, family, world animals, Living beings' evolution, Earth, meteo, countries and different cultures, Food and cooking, ..
Sports and activities
The younger ones have every day several hours outside in our big wooded park to run, play (sand pit, mud kitchen and wooded park)
From reception, sports are offered each week by a PE teacher (baby gym, yoga, sport tracks and supportive games)
Music and singing
Children learn each week bilingual songs and have several musical workshops with percussions and songs.
Screens
At EIBA, we have chosen the learning by doing method rather than screens, apart from occasional documentaries or movie outings.
As we know, screens have heavy impacts on our brains and this is why we have chosen not to introduce screens too soon ans they are a omnipresent all our life.
Choosing the learning by doing method enables children to develop their curiosity, imagination, patience and perserverance/
Students evaluation
The progress of the students is evaluated every day in continuous assessment. At the end of each school period, you will be able to consult your child's work and we invite you to meet the teachers as well . Every end term you will have a success booklet relating your child's progression.
