Extra Curricular

The aim of the workshop at our bilingual school is to stimulate children’s creativity, logic and initiative through animation projects. Using Scratch, they learn the basics of computer programming by making cartoons or coding their first video games. Through simple, creative and fun projects, they are introduced to the concepts of variables, Boolean variables, loops, logical operators, conditional logic and so on. As they progress through the year, they take ownership of the projects and develop their self-confidence.

Offered during the lunch break, yoga facilitates the assimilation by your children of what has been learned during the morning and allows them to calmly approach the afternoon’s learning. A great way for students to get in touch with their bodies and to get to know themselves better, very gently.

A lifeguard leads swimming sessions for our Grande Section students. Children are the ideal age to acquire this essential know-how.

Our after-school team welcomes pupils as soon as they leave school for a time of relaxation after a day full of learning; an opportunity for them to take part in various games and creative activities in the enchanting setting of our school before returning home.

Quiet time and board games, drama in English and musical activities... fun and stimulating activities to help nursery pupils develop their dexterity, motor skills, concentration, imagination and team spirit! The sessions, supervised by our educational team and a music teacher from the Conservatoire, follow on from each other and complement each other to give your children a relaxing afternoon full of discovery.

We are delighted to announce the launch of a Mother Tongue Strengthening Programme, specially designed for our multilingual students. This programme aims to value and reinforce each child’s mother tongue skills, both oral and written.

The offered languages are:

·       Arabic

·       Flexibility: Online courses offer great scheduling flexibility, allowing students to attend lessons at their convenience.
·       Cultural enrichment: Learning with native teachers also helps students better understand and appreciate the culture associated with their mother tongue.

The fee is €460 for 20 sessions (1 session per week until the end of the school year).

Chess allows us to develop many qualities and skills in our students: concentration, memory, spatial projection and strategy, self-criticism and willpower. The students are divided into groups of level.

During these fun workshops, children of our bilingual school carry out a wide range of manual projects, experiments and manipulations on subjects such as optics, mechanics and electricity. They learn about the scientific approach (observing, hypothesising and setting up an experiment) while having fun at the same time. For the older children, the theory behind the experiments is explored in greater depth, and the level of difficulty of the experiments is increased.

The journalism workshop allows students to learn about the world in which they live and to develop writing skills. They learn to report information in a logical and attractive way.

During these workshops at our bilingual school, students build a wide range of LEGO© projects such as merry-go-rounds, towers and bridges, mosaics and lettering, scale models, architectural monuments and much more. As they build these structures, they will learn different construction techniques and be introduced to mechanical and architectural principles: motors and gears, construction, machines, concepts such as friction and energy, design and scale, etc. Each week, a different project is carried out. Students work individually and/or in groups to create the project, then test it, modify it and play

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that combines elements of dance, music, acrobatics and martial arts. During these workshops, the basic movements of capoeira are adapted and taught to the children through games: their attention and concentration are captured by appealing to their imagination. Amidst various cultural and historical aspects, our method is based on three pillars: spontaneity, creativity and cooperation.

Dear students: imagine yourself on stage, in the spotlight, performing in an original musical you’ve created from A to Z. Our workshop, run by the Volubilis company, gives our international school children the chance to discover and try out effective learning techniques, to learn to control their voices and sing with precision and rhythm, and to develop their ease on stage and their ability to work as part of a team.

This workshop, led by Ilyes Benmouffok, actor, invites students of our bilingual school to embark on a year-long theatrical adventure. The goal is to apprehend, thanks to the tools that theater offers, one’s body, voice, the gaze of others, personal fantasy, as well as the relationship to a text. It is also an adventure that aims to be collective and joyful. The workshops take place in two stages:

• The training: in the form of practical exercises, in improvisation or in play, it aims to get out of apathy and awaken the senses. It allows the development of various tools that will serve the student’s relationship to the game and the text.
• The text: from September to December, we will embrace the theatrical repertoire in the broad sense by working on scenes from classical or contemporary theater. From January to June, we will build an end-of-year show.
