The parents leading the project, together with the teaching team, aim to offer a different kind of school with the following objectives:
- Ensuring the acquisition of fundamental learning as defined by the French National Education curriculum:
Basic skills such as reading, writing, and arithmetic are, of course, an integral part of each child's educational journey. They are essential for progressing in learning and understanding the world around us.
To ensure the acquisition of these academic skills in line with the French National Education curriculum, an individual progress booklet is implemented. It covers the different areas of the national common core of knowledge and skills. This booklet is accessible via the École Futée website for elementary students and is provided in a physical notebook in January and June for kindergarten students.
- Support an innovative learning environment where bilingualism plays a central role:
Mastering multiple languages from an early age opens many doors for children and fosters both their cognitive and social development
- Base practices on multiple innovative or alternative educational approaches.
​
The teaching practices at ISA are grounded in:
-
Insights from neuroscience, which help understand and explain how the human brain functions.
-
The use and implementation of various complementary pedagogies to enrich learning experiences.
-
A multi-level learning environment, fostering peer support, solidarity, collaborative learning, and adaptation to the individual needs of each child.
- Promote Inclusion
The school welcomes and supports students regardless of their developmental specificities or approach to learning.
Inclusion is a core value that allows each child to thrive and receive an education tailored to their needs. The safety and well-being of all students are ensured.
-
Supporting each child in becoming an active participant in their learning by helping them acquire knowledge according to their own potential. Children have the freedom to move and make choices in how they organize their learning.
-
Creating a safe and nurturing environment to ensure calm and effective learning experiences.
-
Implementing small class sizes, with a maximum of 16 children per group. Teachers welcome each child with respect for their individuality and unique sensitivity.
- Fostering emotional expression
This objective helps children develop a better understanding of themselves and others. By enhancing their relational skills, they learn to respect others while also respecting themselves.
