BILINGUAL SCHOOL PARIS : Educational project

"It’s fun learning at The Little School House"

Le Petit Cours is a private secular school. It offers an English/French bilingual preschool and primary education. An equal balance between general French and English teaching makes it possible to respect the official French curriculum. As a mixed school, it accommodates children as young as young as 3 years old.

Le Petit Cours adopts


- an active education by means of play and pleasure, motivates the child while preserving his or her own nature and supports the blossoming of the child's own personality, as well as the emergence of autonomy. This is not incompatible with the development of the sense of effort, work well done and the acquisition of fundamental knowledge tools.

- an individualised education, which makes it possible to manage the rate of progress, not by age, but by each child's individual rhythm. Thus, the child learns to read as soon as he or she is mature enough and expresses the desire.
The small number of children in the school and classes:

- enables Le Petit Cours to be a community with life rules but in a warm, calm and relaxed family atmosphere.
- allows each child to be personally followed and receive additional support according to his or her specific needs.

An original system of multi-level classes:



- offers the children a continuous progression without marked breaks between grade levels.
- avoids repeating grades and a possible sense of failure.
Modernisation and tradition:
Open to progress, Le Petit Cours still attaches importance to some traditional values, such as courtesy, public-spirit, self-esteem and respect towards others... Certain often neglected disciplines are maintained: Moral code, civic instruction... The school finds the right balance by approaching effects of fashion with caution. Thus, while applying modern teaching techniques, the traditional methods, which have proven reliable, such as the phonic reading, are not disowned.

Although innovative, Le Petit Cours is not a marginal, parallel or over-protecting establishment. The children will adapt easuly to any other educational establishment, whether it be public or private.

The Schedule:



- is adaptable to the available energy of the children, as well as to various circumstances, for it is flexible and evolutionary.
- is widely open to experimentation, observation, imagination and creativity.
- proposes many diverse and short term activities. Daily moments of relaxation, rest, napping for the youngest children and recreation at the playground break-up the day.
