The Joy of Going to School and Active Learning: Children’s Well-Being at the Heart of Our Schools
.svg)
We see each of our schools as places where children can develop their self-confidence through active learning. Our bilingual Montessori schools are on a human scale, so that children feel at home.

ACTIVE TEACHING
Our commitment: an active teaching approach focused on children's independence and respect for them
RESPECT THE PACE OF LEARNING
By paying attention to each student's learning pace, our teachers are able to provide the necessary support and make every day at school a real joy.
LISTENING TO NEEDS
Listening to children's needs means understanding the stages of development they go through. Children progress, overcome difficulties and develop their autonomy. In elementary school, each pupil has his or her own individual work plan and personalized follow-up. The specific tools we've developed promote student autonomy and responsibility, key principles of active pedagogy. Thanks to the Montessori approach developed in our nurseries and kindergartens, children are involved in their own learning from an early age.
INITIATE OPENNESS TO THE WORLD AND TO OTHERS
We offer tailor-made support and guidance to help students grow and progress as a group. Mutual support is an important value in our classes, as is group work and the sharing of ideas. The bilingual teaching provided in each of our international schools in Paris, Clichy and Marseille, from the age of 2, and the welcoming of children from expatriate families also contribute to this. Interaction and collaboration help develop psychosocial skills as well as knowledge.
WELLNESS
What kinds of spaces and facilities are designed to promote children's development?
Well-being implies physical and psychological comfort. That's why we've created
spaces in each of our international Montessori schools, specially designed to help children aged 0 to 12 flourish.
Sports, arts, and meditation workshops
Activities such as yoga, mediation, music and visual arts offer every child the opportunity to express themselves physically and artistically. Led by outside facilitators with a passion for their work, these workshops respond to children's innate need to discover the world in a different way.
Libraries and Reading Corners
When you visit our schools, you'll see how important reading is to us. Each class has its own library, with comfortable spaces to consult books in French and English. Our selection of books covers a wide range of scientific, literary and cultural themes. We regularly renew our collection throughout the year to stimulate students' curiosity.
Relaxation areas, nap rooms, and motor skills rooms
Each of our schools has its own private outdoor playground. This gives children the opportunity to play freely.
Nap rooms are also available for the youngest children in transition. And there are playrooms and motor rooms for all kinds of play activities.
PHILOSOPHY WORKSHOPS
Philosophy Workshops for Children Ages 3 and Up: Fostering Critical Thinking with Marie Robert
Led by our co-founder, Marie Robert, our year-round children's philosophy workshops give schoolchildren aged 3 to 12, as well as middle-schoolers, the opportunity to reflect collectively on questions that resonate with their everyday lives. These moments contribute to building their self-confidence, developing their critical thinking and reasoning skills. Philosophy also provides structure, in parallel with other subjects such as mathematics and languages. All our teams are trained in Marie Robert's method of running philosophy workshops.
ADAPTED SPACES
Custom-designed spaces and vegetable gardens to foster environmental awareness
Our schools are carefully designed to provide our students with the best possible learning conditions. Classrooms are spacious. Nursery and kindergarten furniture has been custom-designed for the children. Each school in the Esclaibes International Schools network has its own outdoor courtyard and vegetable garden, allowing for gardening activities and contributing to the development of their ecological awareness.
BENEVOLENCE AND RIGOR
How does the joy of going to school make bilingual immersion easier in everyday life?
Our schools are bilingual in French and English. This simultaneous learning of two languages is made possible not only by the spatial and temporal organization of timetables and premises, but also by the fact that students learn to listen to each other.
Our pedagogical teams, made up of French and English-speaking teachers, guide them in a benevolent manner. Learning to become bilingual is also facilitated by small class sizes.
