Nursery 1, 2 and 3

Ages 3 to 5. Early childhood education is an essential step in your child’s journey towards academic success.

Nursery 1, Nursery 2, Nursery 3

Balanced between what the child starts and what the teacher leads

The programme deliberately balances child-initiated and teacher-facilitated activities, using both French and English throughout. Activities are age-appropriate, with flexible scheduling.

Students progress through increasingly structured schedules as they advance from Nursery 1 to Nursery 3, so the move into Primary is a step, not a leap.

French 60%

English 40%
