A Montessori-inspired, bilingual and international school in Paris and Geneva
A Montessori-inspired, bilingual and international school in Paris and Geneva.
The school's pedagogical project is based on the principles of the Montessori method and the Reggio Emilia approach, with activities carefully selected by a qualified and passionate bilingual teaching team. Research strongly backs the use of play as the best form of learning. Through experimentation, a child can understand why certain things happen, i.e. mixing blue and yellow paint to make green or writing the letter b in sand can help letter formation and gross motor skills early on. Our learning approach will encourage this natural curiosity and sense of exploration with clear, purposeful play-based activities. La Nouvelle Ecole Paris and Geneva accepts children in multi-age classes to provide personalised quality lessons while also taking into account the ability and rhythm of each child.
Pedagogy at La Nouvelle Ecole
Montessori
Pedagogy
In the Montessori approach, each child is considered unique, with their own needs, interests and skills. Therefore, the Montessori educational program is designed to allow each child to progress at their own pace, rather than forcing them to follow a uniform curriculum.
The organization of spaces allows children to move freely and choose their activities. Children at our bilingual schools in Paris and Geneva are encouraged to move around and work at their own pace.
Reggio Emilia Approach
The Reggio Emilia approach emphasises learning through play, discovery, creativity and collaboration. By allowing children to engage in meaningful learning experiences, we instil a love of learning and prepare children for the transition into school. This approach sees each child as capable, curious, and full of potential, valuing their individual voices and encouraging expression through many languages—including art, movement, and communication. Through hands-on projects, open-ended exploration, and strong relationships with teachers and peers, the Reggio Emilia method also nurtures independence, critical thinking, and social-emotional growth, giving children a solid foundation for lifelong success
Stimulating Learning Environments
At La Nouvelle Ecole, the environment is considered the third educator. Through these rich and stimulating environments, children develop foundational academic skills and learn to navigate relationships, problem-solve, and express themselves, thereby cultivating a holistic educational experience that balances cognitive, social, and emotional development.
A unique approach for a fulfilling learning experience
We bring together the best of innovative teaching methods to offer your child a holistic and complete education.
La Nouvelle École : A bilingual education that opens every door
Teaching French and English in Preschool and Kindergarten is one of our core values, promoting both cultural openness and the personal enrichment of our students. With our schools located in Paris 7th and Geneva, offering bilingual education is a natural extension, further enhancing the international character of our communities.
We offer a fully bilingual educational programme, immersing your child in two distinct linguistic worlds. At La Nouvelle École, it’s not simply about learning a second language— your child will learn, grow, and receive instruction in both languages simultaneously. This is an important distinction.
Our high-quality academic programme is taught by native English and French-speaking teachers, ensuring that students not only benefit from bilingualism but also receive a strong academic foundation delivered by experienced educators.
By being immersed in an international environment, our students naturally thrive in our bilingual kindergarten in Paris and Geneva, developing linguistic fluency and cultural understanding
Give your child an exceptional bilingual education
