Children learn English in total immersion 4 half-days a week from the first year of Maternelle through to the end of primary school.

Once a week, in nursery and primary schools, the school takes place in nature: forest, countryside, vegetable garden.

A wide range of teaching materials created by Maria Montessori are used to help children hone their five senses.

Every child has his or her own rhythm of development. It is essential to respect this rhythm so that we can always meet the needs of the moment.

Enrolling Alyssa in your Montessori school was one of the best decisions of my life. During her three years at collège and lycée, I saw her blossom, gain self-confidence and develop a joy of learning that brightens up her everyday life. Today, she is doing brilliantly in her final year, with an academic level worthy of the best schools, but above all with deep human values: respect, autonomy and sharing.
We particularly appreciated the fact that he was able to regain confidence in his abilities surrounded by caring but demanding people. It wasn't easy for us to choose an independent school. But we quickly became convinced that it was the right choice. Today, we have a son who is happy to have achieved his goal and to see his future as an adventure to be lived rather than a burden.
Our son started at the Montessori School in Bailly at the age of 2 and a half. Here he is at the age of 18, back at the Athena Montessori International High School in Bailly, well in his head as a young adult, confirmed in his worth and in tune with his attentive teachers. For everyone, schooling should be a pleasant experience that builds both self-confidence and learning. Thank you to the whole team who support the adults of tomorrow.
