DESCRIPTION: The Kindergarten provides the basics of a good education in the French system and prepares for primary school. Its aim is to help children become "pupils" by teaching them to be self-confidant, to learn with and among others and to enjoy school. The curriculum revolves around five axes which all emphasise oral skills. These axes are : Speaking, Living together, Using one's body to express oneself, Discovering the world, Developing sensitivity, Imagination, and Creativity. Within the context of the School's charter, the teachers offer a number of projects throughout the year in a variety of disciplines ranging from artistic expression or local culture discovering. From Kindergarten 3 onwards, all pupils move on to Key Stage 2 and begin the process of mastering the written language.
