The school teaches social-emotional learning to help students understand themselves and their emotions, and the emotions of others, in a playful, benevolent and creative environment. This supports the development of empathy, collaboration and resilience.
The school offers inclusive education for students with special educational needs (ÉBÉP). It does not exclude anyone and provides adaptations to meet each student's educational, physical, social and emotional needs. The EBÉP referents are Mme Berthod and Mme Barsotti for secondary and Mme Chardon for primary. Educational accommodations follow the Ministry of National Education guidelines and include PPS, PAP, PPRE and PAI. A psychologist provides prevention, screening, evaluation and support, and the school has an agreement with the AWO Education Counseling Center; the psychologist is Mme Baroche.
Languages offered include German, English, Spanish (from 4th grade) and Latin (from 5th). A bilingual German-English program operates from the early years with German from Petite Section and English from Moyenne Section. Non-French-speaking or limited-French students can receive support in FLSco from Moyenne Section. The ABIBAC bilingual section prepares for both the French Baccalaureate and the German Abitur. English-language pathways include English+ Collège and the Section européenne anglais, with DNL in English; the SIA (Section Internationale Américaine) started in 2021 and continues through collège. The BFI (Baccalauréat Français International) path includes World Knowledge, DNL and cultural-linguistic deepening.
The school fosters a safe physical and emotional climate and teaches compassion, teamwork and confidence to pursue dreams. Kindness is at the center of everything we do. Socio-emotional learning supports students' well-being and social development.
Safeguarding is integrated into the inclusive approach; the school addresses educational, physical, social and emotional needs of all students. EBÉP referents coordinate with families and staff, and a psychologist provides preventive and therapeutic support, with external cooperation as needed to protect and support students.
