Our primary school

Founded on Fransalian tradition, our educational approach is based on excellence and kindness. We are intent on supporting every student to reach their full potential, taking account of their strengths and their weaknesses.

Structure, education and learning

At Florimont, pupils begin the five-year primary programme at the age of 6.

From 11^ème to 7^ème, they study:

– French and German;
– mathematics, science, technology and digital skills;
– history, geography and social education;
– art and music;
– physical education.

We also offer Catholic instruction from 11^ème for students who wish to take part.

As well as teaching academic subjects, our objective is to develop key skills such as communication, collaboration, independence and creative thinking. These soft skills lead to effective learning practices throughout school and beyond.

Bilingualism is key to Florimont’s primary curriculum with a bilingual programme available to students at every age.

Students in 11^ème receive 6 periods of English language and 4 periods of sports and arts in English per week. This ratio sees the level of English progress considerably during the year, while the emphasis remains on developing reading and writing skills in French.

In the last 3 years of primary (from 9^ème to 7^ème), this ratio rises to 60% in French and 40% in English for students in the bilingual track.

To balance their academic learning, students can choose from a wide and exciting range of extra-curricular activities – from fencing or basketball to drama, piano, chess and coding!

These are just some of the activities we offer to satisfy children’s natural curiosity and inspire them to try new experiences.

Alongside extra-curricular activities, we encourage the students to participate in community projects. Whether collecting donations for the Partage food bank, organising a bake sale to raise funds for vulnerable families or meeting residents of the Fondation Aigues-Vertes, our students are doing their bit every day to help people in need!
