The first bilingual Montessori schools’ network in France
The Montessori 21 network holds 6 bilingual French-English schools and a trilingual French-English-Spanish middle school. We welcome children from 2 to 15 years’ old, from kindergarden to middle school. Schools are members of the Association Montessori de France (AMF).
Each child benefits from a personalized school follow-up based on his/hers progress (Montessori & Education nationale), as well as his/hers social and emotional development.
Directors and teachers benefit from ongoing Montessori training and sharing of experience.
Immersion in a bilingual Montessori atmosphere
- A French speaking and an English speaking teacher accompany the children in our classes.
- English speaking teachers are trained in “My World in Words”: this method mixes games, nursery rhymes, songs, readings and helps to develop language skills, while preserving the pleasure to the acquisition of a second language.
- Children are immersed in a bilingual atmosphere on a daily basis and are gradually moving from a situation of global understanding to a real situation of language interaction.
- NEW! Starting this coming school year 2021-22, children over the age of 6 will pass the different stages of the Cambridge for Young Learners, which will allow them to reach level A2 at the end of Primary!
Discover the Montessori pedagogy
Our schools respect the major principles of Montessori pedagogy. In addition, all children benefit from a complete and personalized pedagogical follow-up with assessments twice a year to assess the progress of their learning (Montessori & Education nationale) together with emotional development and their inclusion in the group.
Mixed age group
The mixed age group in classes intend to foster children’s collaboration, exchange and mutual respect leading to peaceful social relations.
A specific time for work
Teachers provide two and a half to three hours of uninterrupted working time in the morning and in the afternoon in order to respect the child’s natural pace of work and concentration.
High quality Montessori materials
Teaching materials are provided, adapted to the size of the child in order to build his/hers intelligence and adapt to his culture.
