The elementary
The programs taught are those defined by the French Ministry of National Education. They are also recognized by the Ministry of Education of Montenegro.
The learnings
Mastering the French language and the first elements of mathematics are the priority objectives of elementary school to allow students to access the fundamental tools of knowledge.
Cycle 2 (CP-CE1 and CE2) is that of fundamental learning in reading, writing and mathematics. During these 3 years, solid foundations are established in these areas. The program provides hours of teaching to question the world, artistic teaching (plastic arts and musical education), physical and sports education and moral and civic education.
In cycle 3 (CM1-CM2), students consolidate their learning in these areas, discover science and technology, history and geography, the history of the arts.
Languages
In these classes, students receive 2 hours of English and 2 hours of Montenegrin per week. Co-teaching sessions in two languages also help to strengthen the multilingual curriculum and to carry out joint projects. In Montenegrin, the Ministry's programs are followed for native students.
From CM1, students also benefit from one hour of Montenegrin culture and history, as well as one hour of non-linguistic teaching (arts, sciences, PE, maths, geography, etc.) in English and Montenegrin.
Educational approach
The school takes into account the plurality and diversity of each student's abilities. Alongside reasoning and intellectual reflection, the sense of observation, the taste for experimentation, sensitivity, motor skills and creative imagination are developed.
Our small class sizes (20 students maximum) allow the teacher to provide personalized support to each student to the best of their ability.
Learning is done through manipulation, games, training and discoveries. The student is fully involved and progresses in learning with trial and error, which will allow him to understand and assimilate concepts more easily and effectively. The development of self-confidence, autonomy and responsibility are also central.
