The School’s philosophy:
Allows children from the age of 3 upwards to pursue their schooling at their own rhythm.
Children are encouraged to discover and interpret what the adult teaches rather than to be imposed a learning from the adult.
At the Découverte we motivate the children to learn for themselves rather than to learn to please the teacher. To this end the programmes are child-centred and require the pupils to play an active part in the learning process.
The academic programme is based on that of the Swiss public school system which facilitates the transition to secondary school.
The main teaching language is French but children have an "English Day" once or twice a week, depending on the grade, with an English mother-tongue teacher.
