Cognitive Development

Our Primary

Our Primary program blends the Cambridge International Primary Programme (CIPP) with the French Ministry of Education syllabus to deliver a rigorous bilingual curriculum. Each class is co-led by an English and a French teacher, with 60% of instruction in English and 40% in French. Core subjects like Literacy, Mathematics, and Science are taught in English, while subjects such as Geography, History, Music, and World Religions are taught in French. French language instruction follows official national guidelines from the French Ministry of Education. To support a smooth transition into either the French or English secondary stream, key concepts in Mathematics and Science are revisited in French to build essential subject-specific vocabulary.

From exploring nature to discovering new cultures, these hands-on opportunities nurture creativity, confidence, and global awareness—equipping students with the life skills and perspectives they need to thrive in the world beyond school.
