The school offers continuity from 2 years through 15 years with the same pedagogy and a caring, trained team. A middle school class for ages 12-15 was planned to open at the start of the 2020 school year, with a Thorenc pedagogical farm partnership for a fully boarded middle school.
SPORT, CULTURE AND OUTING are part of the program. Outdoor activities let children connect with nature and develop awareness of their environment through their five senses. The Colibris Kids Club offers holiday programs for children aged 2 to 12, including summer camps. A warm and involved association of parents contributes to school life through many actions and exchanges between parents and the school. At LES COLIBRIS, children develop all their academic, physical, psychological, emotional and social potentials.
