Paris 15

What a curious idea it is, to create schools and stand by the responsibility of an educative project of what will be tomorrow’s adults! In order, to start such an adventure you need the courage to be ready to face a lot of risks : the risk to do differently, the risk not to be liked by everyone, the risk to believe in patience and consistency.

Since 7 years and the opening of our first school in Marseille, we went through different scenarios. We adjusted, questioned, modified, made more complex, tried, specified, cooperated. In the end, it is this with no doubt, this ability to think, that was our biggest asset, this drive, the importance of progress that we want to pass on to your children.

Founding a school requires several pillars : 

• A settled vision that is not a marketing pitch, but a solid expertise coming from a meticulous experience.

• A taste for excellence and high standards, because they are gifts for our children and a way to ensure their horizons are never stained with abnegation.

• A base of trust, trust toward the teachers, parents and children, all together creating a genuine partnership.

• Love and certainty that there is nothing more overpowering than the passion for what we do.

Those are all the ingredients we gathered in our new school in the 15th arrondissement, a pedagogical laboratory, at the forefront of innovation particularly brought to us by neurosciences, following precisely the official programs of l’Education Nationale. All in all, a lively space where knowledge is a celebration. 

We look forward to welcoming your children.

• Wednesday : Workshops are taking place on Wednesdays from 9am to 6pm and allow children to work in a bilingual environment.

• Holidays : Each first week of the holidays, children can also attend bilingual workshops.

Cultural activities during the school year :

• Philosophy : children follow philosophy workshops, 30 minutes every two weeks during which they explore a topic. A wonderful moment to grow, exchange ideas, learn how to listen to others and also share your thoughts and become an open-minded adult !

• Programming : Our children follow programming classes thanks to an innovative method inspired by the Montessori pedagogy, where they learn the basis of computer science without screens. It starts from the history of robotics and slowly takes them to the logic behind programming.

• Arts, Crafts and Cinema : Every week they discover a new artist from around the world, from Monet to Andy Warhol they explore the art world by acquiring a strong cultural knowledge and also creating their own masterpieces ! During the year they also watch 3 to 4 different movies in French and English to allow their imagination to grow even more.

• PE and yoga : It is really important for us to allow our students to express themselves in the space, every week they have two PE class in the outside playground and they also have yoga classes.

• School trips : we try to plan as many school trips as possible at museums. For older children one longer outing during a few days in a biological farm.
