At the French School, we follow the guidelines for the cole maternelle established by the Ministre de lducation Nationale (French Ministry of National Education). Not only is French the subject of instruction, but it is also the medium by which all subjects are taught. All communication, from teachers to children is conducted exclusively in French. Through traditional songs and stories, children learn about French culture and history.
The curriculum consists of five general domains:
1. Socialization/Vivre Ensemble
Respecting rules and others Learning to share, play and work with others2. Language (Spoken and Written)/Le langage au coeur des apprentisages
Literature Pre-reading Writing Theater/Dramatic play3. Environment Discovery/Dcouvrir le monde
Math Science Geography4. Motor Skills/Agir et s’exprimer avec son corps
Fine Gross (Physical Education/Dance)5. Creative Arts/La sensibilit, l’imagination, la cration
Music ArtThese five domains are incorporated into thematic units, which explore a variety of stimulating topics consisting of age-appropriate, engaging activities. Throughout the year, thematic units allow children to explore the world around them, learn self-expression through the arts and stimulate their creativity.
