Learning through three languages
Languages are embedded in children's school experience through conversation, stories, songs, routines, projects, play and structured activities. The purpose is meaningful communication rather than isolated vocabulary memorisation.
Parents interested in multilingual development can also read what research says about young children growing up with several languages.
French national curriculum
Our programme develops early-years foundations within the French national curriculum, including oral language, early literacy, mathematical thinking, physical development, creativity, exploration of the world and learning together.
Polish national curriculum
Children also cover Polish national curriculum requirements, supporting continuity for families considering the Polish education system.
English in the multilingual environment
English is part of children's everyday multilingual learning environment alongside French and Polish, through communication, activities and play.
How young children learn
Play is central to early learning. Teachers use purposeful play, exploration, movement, art, stories, practical tasks and group activities to support knowledge, curiosity and independence.
