Elementary school

By under the support leadership of Mr Sébastien Pinède, the Elementary School welcomes 800 students across 31 classes, providing a dynamic and inclusive learning environment. Located in the modern setting of Academic City, the school benefits from purpose-built facilities designed to foster a fulfilling and well-rounded educational experience.

The Role of Elementary School

Elementary school marks the beginning of compulsory education and plays a crucial role in the acquisition of basic knowledge:

• Oral and written expression,

• Reading,

• Mathematics and problem-solving.

In addition to these fundamentals, the school aims to develop intelligence, artistic sensitivity, manual, physical, and sports abilities. It also provides teaching in historical, geographical, scientific, and technical culture, while raising students’ awareness of visual and musical arts.

Learning a foreign language and introducing linguistic diversity are also priorities. Finally, moral and civic education, in collaboration with families, instills essential values such as respect for children's rights, gender equality, and republican symbols.

The Teaching Cycles

The organization of the curriculum into teaching cycles allows for monitoring students' progress and addressing their specific needs:

• Cycle 2: Cycle of Fundamental Learning (CP, CE1, CE2) – focused on mastering basic knowledge.

• Cycle 3: Cycle of Consolidation (CM1, CM2, 6th grade) – ensuring continuity between elementary school and middle school

This structure ensures a smooth transition between the different stages of schooling, supporting each student in their progression.
