At 6 years of age, the child has become autonomous, he masters his gestures, his thoughts, his words, he is ready to discover the world!

To accompany him in the discovery of his environment is the role of the educator to help him become a researcher and discoverer of everything that is necessary to understand his environment, to take his place in society.

The year begins with great stories that set the scene: 

• the creation of the earth 

• the emergence of life

• the great history of the alphabet ...

From there, always by means of short presentations, called "key lessons", which the pupil is invited to repeat or which will serve as a basis for research, small work or various exercises, he will explore different areas: language, mathematics, geometry, biology, history and geography. The pupil at this age wants to understand, he will be encouraged, accompanied in his curious mind, to make him enthusiastic about everything that involves the world in which he lives.

The Montessori material still holds a great place there. It allows the pupil to be autonomous in his learning, it accompanies him to abstraction, at which point the material will no longer be necessary.

It is also the age to live with others, the child works more readily in small groups, he spends time managing his relationship with others and integrates the rules of life. He gradually learns to develop his own responsibility, develops his own self-esteem and thus gains his independence.

“Intelligence can only be driven by desire. For there to be desire, there must be pleasure and joy. Intelligence grows and bears fruit only with joy. The joy of learning is as essential to studies as is breathing to runners. "Maria Montessori”.

In upper Elementary, four classes are equipped and adapted to the needs and programme of 6-12 years old pupils. Each has an interactive whiteboard, tablets and computers for controlled use and complementary to Montessori equipment.

Its English teaching is performed in small daily groups, taught by an English-speaking teacher, and according to the knowledge and possibilities of each pupil. Learning to read and write in English is continued at the age of 6 and the PER curriculum can then be followed.
