Cycle 1: French Maternelle Excellence
As an AEFE partner, we follow the French National Education curriculum for Cycle 1 (PS, MS, GS), nurturing independence and social-emotional growth through a structured, play-based approach.
French National Education Standards
Our program is built on the five essential domains defined by the Ministry of National Education for children aged 3 to 6.
Mobilising Language
Using language as a tool for communication and thought. We focus on developing a rich vocabulary and initiating the transition from oral to written language.
Physical Activity
Developing motor skills and body awareness through collective games, gymnastics, and expressive movement.
Artistic Exploration
Cultivating aesthetic sense and imagination through visual arts, sound exploration, and dramatic performance.
Structuring Thought
Acquiring the first tools of mathematics: discovering numbers and their uses, exploring shapes, sizes, and sequences.
Exploring the World
Learning to situate oneself in space and time, discovering the living world, and understanding the environment.
