"Play is the highest form of research" - Albert Einstein Schedule a School Tour Chat with us on WhatsApp Reggio Emilia Pedagogy The Reggio Emilia Approach is an alternative educational approach that emphasises learning through play, discovery, creativity and collaboration. It views children as capable individuals with the ability to construct their knowledge when provided with opportunities to engage in meaningful experiences. By fostering curiosity and a sense of wonder, this approach instils a lifelong love of learning and equips children with the confidence and skills needed for a seamless transition into school. "A child's mind is not a container to be filled, but rather a fire to be ignited." — Loris Malaguzzi Montessori Pedagogy In the Montessori method, 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 organisation of spaces allows children to move freely and choose their activities, respecting young children's need for movement. Children are encouraged to move around and work at their own pace, in a flexible seating approach to learning. "The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn." - Maria Montessori Bilingualism Research shows that the level of oral language in the Early Years is the best predictor of academic success in primary school as well as the best predictor of a child’s progress in learning. The earlier the brain is exposed to a language during its development, the easier it is to acquire this language. Brain networks involved in learning language become more specialised over time; it is therefore more complex to learn a second language when the networks are specialised than when they are learned very early in development. "Our bilingual team ensures that children work in both French and English from an early age, and learning time is divided equally" - Stephanie Ayre, Founder Admissions La Nouvelle Ecole provides a comprehensive academic and enrichment programme for children aged 2 to 6 years. To maintain high quality and individualised attention, we accept a maximum of 22 children, taught by two teachers and two assistants (1:6 adult-to-child ratio).

A School with Humanitarian Values Our Humanitarian and Environmental Engagement La Nouvelle École is a school with humanitarian values , committed to being a positive contributor to the global community by empowering and supporting less fortunate children in developing countries and taking action to protect the environment. Three Primary Schools Constructed for 232 Children in Laos La Nouvelle École is proud to be a school with humanitarian values, dedicated to empowering children in underserved countries and communities. We have partnered with Mission Enfrance, a humanitarian aid organization, to construct schools in struggling countries and assist communities with access to clean water, hygiene, and education. La Nouvelle École has funded the construction of a new school, “Bane Laogna,” in the province of Pakse, Laos, and supported the completion of two additional schools located 70 km from Pakse. In addition to the lack of educational facilities, hygiene remains a critical issue in Laos, particularly for young children. La Nouvelle École has financed the distribution of hygiene kits and provided training across all three schools. We have also supplied sports equipment to each of the schools, further supporting the children's development. Rebuilding Hope: A New Home for Abandoned and Abused Dogs Protecting and Caring for 100 Dogs in Need, One Shelter at a Time We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the animal shelter reconstruction, in partnership with Let the Animals Live. Through our funding, we have rebuilt the shelter and equipped it with modern facilities, providing safe, comfortable spaces for 100 abandoned and abused dogs. These animals now have access to newly designed indoor and outdoor play areas, fully protected from the elements, ensuring they can thrive in their new environment. Restoring Tasmania: Planting 100 Trees Each Month 36,000 Trees Planted Over Four Years to Heal the Land After the Australian Fires In response to the devastating fires in Australia, La Nouvelle École took meaningful action by planting trees to help restore the environment. What began as a symbolic gesture—planting one tree for each student and staff member—quickly grew into something larger. Inspired by our little learners’ excitement, we now plant 100 trees monthly in partnership with One Tree Planted . A School with Humanitarian Values, Supporting Global Causes with TogetherBand Empowering Education, Climate Action, and Sustainability Through Upcycled Materials and Community Involvement To further our commitment to being a school with humanitarian values; we proudly partnered with TogetherBand in 2019 to support a variety of global causes. This impactful non-profit works to aid families in Africa, advance children’s education in India, fund climate change research, and much more. As part of our commitment, we distributed TogetherBands to our entire community of parents. Each band is made from upcycled ocean plastic and metal from seized illegal firearms. For every band acquired, 1 kg of plastic is removed from the ocean, contributing to cleaner marine environments. Learn more about TogetherBand’s mission .
