ABOUT THE MONTESSORI SCHOOL

It is a preschool and primary school that follows the Montessori pedagogy, with a bilingual environment (French/English) and an approach centered on the overall development of the child. Our school also promotes the connection with parents and the community, as well as an eco-responsible approach. It is an international Montessori school, open to the world.

Montessori pedagogy is an educational approach developed by Maria Montessori that encourages autonomy, curiosity, and respect for each child’s rhythm through concrete activities adapted to each child.

Our classes consist of multi-age groups, in accordance with Montessori pedagogy. There is a maximum of 15 children per supervisor to ensure personalized follow-up.

BILINGUALISM AND LANGUAGES

We offer a bilingual environment where children are exposed to French and English daily, thanks to the presence of native or perfectly bilingual educators. Located next to Grenoble, we offer an international Montessori school, open to the world.

The learning method is differentiated according to age groups and can take various forms: immersion, workshops, songs, stories, daily activities, etc.
