For P1 and P2 students

P1 and P2 students can access and leave the school in two ways:

• via the parking lot on Rue des Ramiers, accessible 40 minutes before the start of classes and up to 30 minutes after they end,
• or via the main entrance, located on the Rue de Wavre parking lot.

In both cases, parents are asked to park their vehicle in the designated areas and walk their child to or from the school, ensuring safe arrival and departure.

For P3 to P6 students

The main entrance for P3 to P6 students is exclusively via the Rue de Wavre parking lot.There are two options for parents when dropping off or picking up their children:

• Standard parking: Parents may park in the designated spaces and walk their child to or from the school.
• Kiss & Drive system: This system allows for a quick and safe pick-up of students from P3 to P6, within 30 minutes after the end of classes.

Reading and Research: Tools for Learning and Discovery

Reading and research are at the heart of our educational approach, fostering curiosity, intellectual engagement, and a lifelong love of learning.

Our Library and Resource Centre (BCDR) is open to all students. They can explore and borrow a wide range of age-appropriate books that support their reading development.

Each classroom includes mini libraries with books in both French and English, encouraging daily exposure to reading and language enrichment.

Digital resources, documentary materials, and educational tools are regularly used to support projects, research, and exploratory learning activities.

Lunchtime: A Moment of Well-being and Discovery.

We strive to make lunchtime a moment of well-being, social connection, and culinary exploration:

• Children can choose between:
  • A balanced hot meal prepared on-site by Duo-Catering, using local, organic, and seasonal products
  • A packed lunch brought from home (in accordance with the school’s nutritional charter)
• Meals are ordered via our secure platform, APSchool
• Our meals cater to specific needs: a vegetarian option is available every day, and “Veggie Thursdays” are for everyone
• Meals are served and supervised exclusively by our school’s teachers, in a calm and caring atmosphere

Lunchtime at our school is far more than a break — it’s a valuable opportunity for students to express themselves, explore new interests, and build connections with others in meaningful ways.

Here are just a few of the activities on offer:

• Open access to the Library (BCDR) or our “Book Box” for reading or independent research
• Football tournaments to unwind and enjoy team spirit
• Talking circles, cooperative games, and inter-age exchanges, led by cross-class projects throughout the year
• Bike workshops run by our physical education teachers to build independence and road safety skills
• Crafts, chess, music workshops, and more, thanks to the involvement of our wonderful parent volunteers
• … and many more opportunities that evolve in line with our ongoing school projects and community initiatives

These midday moments help enrich school life and support each child’s holistic development.

If you would like your child to take part in an extra-curricular activity, it is possible!

Supervised study, English club, chess, sports or art activities: a wide range of activities are available at our school after school hours through several partners. More information is available in our notice boards or from the secretary’s office.

Discovering, exploring, learning in a different way: every year, our pupils have several memorable experiences both inside and outside the school.

Each class goes on at least one cultural or educational outing a year (to a museum, farm, science centre, nature centre, etc.) and regularly takes part in workshops, conferences and shows led by professionals at our school.

Residential school trips are offered from 2nd primary, lasting from 3 to 6 days depending on age.

Here are the trips planned for 2024-2025 (for information only):

P2: Clerheid – Philo and Circus (6/10 – 10/10/2025)
