Resources and spaces that support learning and development

Facilities Overview

Campus Mies offers a stimulating learning environment with dedicated teachers and supportive infrastructures. Children spend every day outdoors in all weather, in parks or forests, to develop resilience and explore scientific topics. An open-space approach provides autonomous workshops and cross-age collaboration, while theatre engages students from age seven and helps develop memory, diction, and presence on stage. The campus provides after-school daycare until 18:00 and meals prepared on-site guided by a quality charter that emphasizes balanced, healthy, and sustainable menus.

Academic Facilities

Academic learning emphasizes project-based pedagogy that integrates disciplines and gives context to learning. Projects emerge from children's questions or problems and aim to motivate and deepen understanding. Philosophy develops critical and creative thinking, listening, and debate, and fosters autonomous, free, and responsible individuals. Outdoor learning is practiced daily, in all weather, to connect students with nature and science. An open environment supports autonomous workshops where students of different ages collaborate to solve problems.

La Découverte School at Campus Mies offers a private bilingual French–English education for children aged 3 to 12. The Mies campus uses a project-based, socio-constructivist approach, organizing learning around questions and problems that span disciplines. Weekly class councils and a monthly Grand Council Meeting involve students in decision-making, while philosophy sessions nurture critical thinking, listening, and debate. Outdoor learning happens daily, in parks or forests, in all weather, to foster resilience and environmental understanding. An open-space environment supports autonomous workshops and cross-age collaboration, and theatre activities develop oral expression and stage presence. The school provides after-school care and on-site meals guided by a healthy, sustainable menu charter. With a history dating to the early 1990s, La Découverte emphasizes active inquiry and a personalised, family learning environment. Extracurriculars include Capoeira, Art, Robotics, and Football, plus holiday camps and arts-based after-school options. These elements join to support curious, confident learners daily worldwide.
