The school focuses on the intellectual, emotional, and social development of every student. In a supportive environment, each child gains confidence, builds resilience, and becomes an independent learner. The mission aims to empower active, respectful, tolerant, and open-minded learners who contribute to a better world. Well-being is a core element of the educational model, with a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere. The bilingual, international setting supports personal growth and social development.
The school has an Inclusion Policy that embeds inclusion in the curriculum, teaching, and school life. It explains that a Diverse Learning Needs Team develops and evaluates inclusive practices and policies. Inclusive Access Arrangements are provided to support diverse learners, including extra time, assistive technology, and other accommodations. Admissions may be offered to students with educational difficulties if Ermitage can provide the required level of support. The policy emphasizes confidentiality and collaboration among teachers, families, and leadership to implement inclusive practices.
The school offers bilingual French-English programmes from kindergarten to primary school. From kindergarten, students follow a curriculum taught in both English and French. Students develop strong academic skills, personal confidence, and global awareness in a nurturing, multicultural environment. The bilingual approach fosters open-mindedness, global curiosity, and prepares students for a smooth transition to middle school in either an international or French setting.
