FS EARLY YEARS
Kindergarten is a fundamental stage in a child’s education. The skills they gain at this young age, especially language skills, serve as building blocks for future learning.
​
The main goal of kindergarten is to make children want to go to school to learn, develop and express their personality.
Kindergarten provides an environment where children learn and experience together. Here, they discover the key principles of community life and begin the journey to become responsible citizens.
​
We take a play-based approach to learning that is adapted to suit the age and abilities of each child. Teachers promote positive assessment, where children themselves identify their accomplishments.​​
​
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR immersive bilingual approach?
​​
The French curriculum is co-taught in both languages, with a French-speaking and an English-speaking teacher
in the same lesson. Both streams share campuses and playgrounds, meaning French stream students benefit from mixing with and learning from their international stream classmates. Teachers work closely together and have shared projects, which bring together students from both streams, providing an ideal setting for communicating in both French and English.
​
Do the children learn any other languages ?
​
Yes ! They will have weekly Mandarin introduction lessons, and experience many immersive Chinese cultural activities.
Our curriculum is organised around five main areas of learning
-
Involvement with language in all its forms
-
Action, self-expression and understanding through physical activities
-
Action, self-expression and understanding through artistic activities
-
Building the foundations for organising students’ thinking
-
Exploring the world
The Gardening
& Soup example
In kindergarten, we work through different teaching topics and organise related activities designed to develop these five learning areas.
