Curriculum

Primary school

In the French education system, the École Primaire, or primary school, plays a crucial role in a child's educational journey. It is the first formal stage of compulsory education and typically caters to children aged 6 to 11 years old. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The École Primaire provides a comprehensive curriculum that focuses on developing core academic skills, fostering social integration, and nurturing the overall well-being of students. Students gradually build upon the foundations laid in Maternelle, further developing their reading, writing, and numeracy skills. The École Primaire curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative learning. It aims to provide a balanced education that promotes intellectual growth, social interaction, creativity, and the acquisition of fundamental knowledge. 

​

The École Primaire serves as a vital stage in preparing students for the subsequent levels of education and lays the groundwork for their continued academic and personal development.
