First intake: January 2027 — admissions are now open.
Carry-le-Rouet & Meyreuil campuses — Provence

Mornings for academic excellence.
Afternoons for sport.

A bilingual primary school with small classes, where every child learns at their true pace in the morning — with maths and science taught in English — and joins their club every afternoon. No time wasted. No homework. No need to choose between the two ambitions.

Why this school

It isn't the hours in class that matter. It's what children learn in them.

In a large class, lessons move at the pace of the middle of the group: some children are left waiting while others struggle to keep up. Young athletes, meanwhile, train late in the evening, tired after a day spent sitting at a desk.

Mastery

Every concept mastered to 90% or more

Individual learning paths: a pupil moves on only once the previous concept is secure, and there is no ceiling for a child who is ready to go further. Working one or two years ahead in maths is entirely possible.

Attention

25-minute sprints, never longer

Short, active sequences broken up by breaks outdoors. Children's attention is respected, and the day is designed so that no one sits passively.

Sporting ambition

Afternoons belong to the club

Every pupil keeps their own club and coach. The school coordinates timetables and keeps an eye on each child's overall workload, working closely with coaches and families.

What we teach

Four pillars that go beyond the French national curriculum

Languages

English learnt by using it

The Cambridge Primary programme (school registration in progress), sessions with an English-speaking specialist and, above all, maths and science taught in English, an approach known as CLIL. Spanish starts in CP (age 6), spoken first, with writing added from CM1 (age 9). The goal by the start of secondary school: A2 English, certified by an external exam.

Maths & science

No ceiling, and proof at every step

Maths taught for full mastery, with each child progressing individually, while French mathematical vocabulary is reinforced alongside. Science through experiment: the scientific method, coding, robotics and projects seen through from start to finish.

Humanities

History and geography, in chronological order

Timelines, great stories, maps and civilisations: a narrative approach that builds solid general knowledge and a lasting curiosity about the world.

Finance

Financial literacy from primary school

Rarely taught at this age: money, trade, saving and compound interest through games and hands-on activities, then budgets, businesses and markets through real projects. Closely tied to maths, it gives numbers a concrete meaning.

The French national common core of knowledge, skills and culture (socle commun) required by the Education Code is covered and assessed in full.

How we teach

Methods grounded in the science of learning

Eight practices, chosen in the light of what research tells us about how children learn.

20'
Physical warm-up
outdoor exercise in natural light before lessons — the brain is ready to learn
1·7·30
Spaced retrieval
every morning opens by recalling what was learnt the day, the week and the month before
15'
Socratic discussion
philosophy for children, every day: building an argument, listening, rephrasing
✍
Screens in their place
deep reading and writing on paper; adaptive digital tools are kept for maths and review
90%
Full mastery
no concept is left behind until it is secure
3
class levels
CP, CE and CM (ages 6 to 11): pupils are grouped with year groups close to their own, so older pupils consolidate by explaining and younger ones are pulled upwards
📓
Metacognition
an error log and a reflective close to each morning: learning how to learn can be taught
0
Numerical marks
a portfolio of work, skills assessed one by one and external certificates instead
Two campuses, one project

Carry-le-Rouet & Meyreuil

Each family joins the campus closest to their home and their club. Specialist teachers work across both sites, which are linked by shared video sessions.

Côte Bleue

Carry-le-Rouet campus
