Montessori and excellence at Esclaibes International Schools

‍

Combining Montessori pedagogy, bilingualism and a quest for academic excellence, Esclaibes International Schools stands out for its unique educational approach in Paris and Marseille. From nursery to elementary school, our schools offer a stimulating and caring environment, designed to enable each child to reach his or her full potential, developing autonomy, curiosity and self-confidence. The Montessori pedagogy at Esclaibes International Schools forms the common basis of the educational approach adopted for our bilingual schools.

We have been practicing Montessori pedagogy for many years. Our co-founder, Alexandre d'Esclaibes, himself a Montessorian child, and Sylvie d'Esclaibes, created one of the most renowned Montessori training centers in France: Apprendre Montessori. This recognized expertise makes our schools a benchmark in Montessori education, an approach we put at the service of excellence and the well-being of our students.

Montessori education for excellence

‍

At Esclaibes International Schools, Montessori pedagogy is the foundation of our educational approach. This child-centered method is based on solid principles: respect for individual rhythm, autonomy and learning through experience.

‍

We also wanted to develop international schools. Our vision is of a network of renowned schools combining Montessori innovation, high academic standards and the well-being of children.

‍

Esclaibes International Schools thus embodies the excellence of Montessori education in the French capital. Each school is ideally located in the 15ᵉ and 16ᵉ arrondissements of Paris, in Clichy as well as in Marseille. In each, we aim to provide a stimulating and caring learning environment for children.

‍

Alexandre d'Esclaibes and Marie Robert trained in philosophy and education before setting up the Esclaibes Schools international schools and surrounding themselves with an experienced teaching team trained in Montessori pedagogy. And they are first and foremost teachers. They each taught for over 10 years before co-founding this network of international schools in Paris and Marseilles.

Why choose Esclaibes International Schools?

‍

1. Proven Montessori pedagogy

‍

The Montessori educational approach is based on sound principles designed to foster the holistic development of each child. At the heart of the Montessori method is respect:

• the individuality of each child so that each can express his or her full potential;
• their learning pace;
• their unique interests.

This pedagogy is best adapted to each child, because it's up to the educator to adapt to the child and not the other way round.

Nos écoles internationales appliquent avec rigueur les principes Montessori. Elles offrent un cadre individualisé et un suivi personnalisé à chaque enfant, ce qui contribue à son épanouissement. Le matériel pédagogique, spécialement conçu, permet aux élèves d’apprendre par l’expérience, en passant du concret à l’abstrait, tout en respectant leurs périodes sensibles.

‍

2. A bilingual Montessori environment

‍

From an early age, children are immersed in a bilingual environment. They acquire a natural command of English and French. This linguistic immersion prepares them for life in a globalized world. It opens up international perspectives. One of the special features of our schools is that they combine French-English teaching with Montessori pedagogy.
