Curriculum details	Curriculum details Follows the French National Education curriculum with a bilingual structure where teaching is 50% in English and 50% in French. From preschool, students are immersed in both English and French, and the programme uses Anglo-Saxon teaching methods based on experimentation and group work. The curriculum includes interdisciplinary STEAM projects and integrates technology and robotics. Small classes support personalised attention, with a student-to-teacher ratio lower than the average French school.	Curriculum details Hattemer Bilingue offers a bi-cultural program in French and English across maternelle through the elementary level, with English instruction starting in early childhood. In Maternelle, instruction is 50% English and 50% French, and English begins from day one. By the end of Grande Section, students understand and express themselves in both languages, and a music program is available as part of the curriculum. In Élementaire, the Hattemer method is more complete and dense than the national program, giving 100 extra hours in mathematics and 200 extra hours in French, with a focus on French, math fundamentals and strong English. Progress in English is validated by the Cambridge exam, and there is a weekly Grand Cours to monitor progress in writing and speaking. From Seconde onward, students can choose between bilingual and international tracks, with six hours of English per week in Seconde and the international track offering English-language study of language, literature and civilization. In Première et Terminale, students may pursue bilingual or international tracks; the international track leads to the IB diploma, and IELTS is included in the program; a counseling office assists with university admissions for top international universities, and since 2023 the school has integrated with the EIB network.
