The kindergarten section is always accessible via the main entrance of the primary building, located through the school’s parking lot on Rue de Wavre.

In addition, to facilitate access for families with younger children, a specific entrance is open at certain times via the parking area located on Rue des Ramiers. This entrance is accessible :

• between 8:00 and 8:45 a.m., and between 4:00 and 4:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
• between 8:00 and 8:45 a.m., and between 12:00 and 12:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.

The Rue des Ramiers parking area is particularly recommended for children in kindergarten, P1, and P2 classes, as it facilitates safe and convenient drop-off and pick-up.

From the very beginning of Kindergarten, children are introduced to the joys of reading.

Each classroom has its own evolving library, which grows, and changes based on class projects and the children’s interests. A selection of books in both French and English is always available to our youngest learners.

From an early age, children are also introduced to the school’s main library, the BCDR, where they can discover new books and borrow them to take home.

Reading workshops and book discovery activities are an integral part of daily classroom routines.

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

After lunch, a rest period is systematically scheduled for children in the Accueil, M1, and M2 classes, in a calm and reassuring environment.

M3 children may also take part, depending on their needs and at the discretion of the teaching team.

We pay special attention to respecting each child’s individual rhythm. Ensuring their well-being and energy levels is essential to support active participation in the afternoon’s learning and discovery activities.

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 a number of partners. More information is available in our notice boards or from the secretary’s office.

Discovering, exploring, and learning differently: each year, our students take part in memorable experiences both inside and outside the school.

Every class participates in at least one cultural or educational outing per year (visits to museums, farms, or nature centers…) and regularly attends workshops and performances led by professional guests within our school.

Our aim is to ensure that school expenses are transparent and accessible.

For your information, you will find below the estimated school expenses for the year 24-25.
