Our school project focuses on multilingualism, pathways to excellence and cultural openness.
There are many projects and activities: language certifications, cultural and artistic projects, a bilingual class in nursery school, the opening of International Sections and Bachibac.
Spanish is taught as a dual language
| PS | Spanish = 10 h English = 1h30 |
| MS | Spanish = 8 h English = 1h30 |
| GS | Spanish = 5 h English = 1h30 |
The concept of dual language is associated with the acquisition of French and Spanish through immersion from an early age.
The aim is to help pupils structure their language around their mother tongue: French or Spanish.
The younger the child, the more important the language structuring process. This is why the Spanish timetable is degressive from PS to GS.
Spanish International Section
| de CP à CM2 | Spanish language of study = 2 h Discovering the world in Spanish = 1 h English = 1h30 |
SI students follow the 3 hours of Spanish language lessons based on the Spanish education system’s syllabus.
Enhanced English section
| de CP à CM2 | Language of study English = 2 h Discovering the world in English = 1h Espagnol = 1h30 |
The section enabling pupils to take 3 hours of English as a language of study is not an officially recognised international section. It is a way of reinforcing English language skills.
