Our classes are small, a maximum of 10 children per teacher in the nursery groups and 12 in the primary levels. This enables each child to have individual time with their teacher thus developing their language and reading skills at their own pace.

The Maternelle 1, age 3-4 (Petite section)
Thursday: 9.15 to 11.45 a.m.
The classes are taught by Tanya Chailloux, a trained Montessori teacher. Montessori methods are used to develop their manual, visual and organisational skills.

Maternelle 2-3, age 4-6 (Moyenne and Grande section)
Monday and Thursday: 1.30 to 4 p.m.
Each week, the children are introduced to a new sound. The activities revolve around the weeks sound. During the year reading is gradually introduced to the 4 to 5 year old group. The 5 to 6 year olds begin work on word formation and simple sentence construction. Each child has an individual reading session with a teacher.

A reading book and a library book are to be read at home each week.

Primary 1, age 6-8 (CP to CE1)
