The Pré de Challes campus provides a pleasant, well-designed environment for early years, with safety and hygiene as top priorities. English immersion begins in kindergarten, with three years of immersion to become bilingual. The kindergarten program includes group time, discovery time, motor skills time, recess, and rest time, with Forest School outings forming part of the experience. Lunch is available through Leztroy Restauration, delivering meals cooked locally the same day with a high percentage of organic produce. After-school and extracurricular activities are offered with supervision and a wide range of options.
Sport is an important part of the curriculum and is practiced in the school gym or nearby facilities. The program balances individual and team sports to develop personal physical skills and team spirit. Students participate in events such as sports festivals.
