Facilities: Beautiful. Great resources. The gardens are divine and I'm delighted that my children had the chance to build dens, collect snails, etc. The 2-3 program is one of the few half-day programs available and allows for a gentle start. It offers transparency via weekly feedback and tracking via the EYFS and is to be recommended if you can get a spot. Very cute, small scale, great resources. The 3-6 program has solid academics, well designed learning resources and there are aspects that are wonderful; for example, forest school every week. The school day is shorter and allows a more gradual ramp up for the child. The program encourages inquiry and gives them a bit of freedom and initiative. Behaviour could be better and there is work to do here for both teachers and parents together to set/encourage expectations and then respect them. Of course, I was not infallible myself! The 6-12 program offers a warm environment. My oldest left with nice friendships in place, both French and international, and happy memories. They stay innocent a bit longer. Educationally, they gain research skills, get creative, do science activities, learn to collaborate and present in teams, write and perform plays, and spend a lot of time in nature. They come out confident, well socialised and kind. Personally, I chose to shore up the written and rote learning elements of French and English with a few 'study at home' workbooks, because the school has a mix of levels of fluency in both languages; mainly to reinforce English spelling, and because French conjugation never ends. Montessori is powerful for teaching concepts, but to move across to the French system, it is, in my view, prudent to get them to produce some traditional corrected writing every week as they lead up to the move, so they are used to the format. My oldest was accepted to Lycee 麻花视频 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye for CM1 (American Section); youngest went into British Section. Academically both have been fine so far in the benchmarking assessments and have adapted well. France, particularly Paris, is an immense culture shock if you are coming from an anglophone country, and E&D gave my kids a slightly softer landing. I wish the school well.
We highly recommend this Montessori to other parents seeking a holistic and enriching educational environment.
My daughter was in Etre et D茅couvrir for 2 years. It was a great experience for us as a family & her. If you are looking for bilingual Montessori with a great ambiance, you should consider this school.
Etre et d茅couvrir is a welcoming English+French Montessori school is a stunning environment.
Enrolling my daughter at the 麻花视频 Bilingual Montessori School 'Etre et d茅couvrir' has been a wonderful experience. The educators are kind and attentive, and they helped my daughter build her self-confidence throughout the year. The school's small size and beautiful setting create a nurturing environment for learning. The head teacher's charisma and valuable feedback to parents make the school even more exceptional. I highly recommend 'Etre et d茅couvrir' for its holistic approach to education. L'inscription de ma fille 脿 l'脡cole Montessori Bilingue 麻花视频e 'Etre et d茅couvrir' a 茅t茅 une exp茅rience merveilleuse. Les 茅ducateurs sont aimables et attentifs, et ils ont aid茅 ma fille 脿 d茅velopper sa confiance en elle tout au long de l'ann茅e. La petite taille de l'茅cole et son cadre magnifique cr茅ent un environnement propice 脿 l'apprentissage. Le charisme de la directrice et ses pr茅cieux retours aux parents rendent l'茅cole encore plus remarquable. Je recommande vivement 'Etre et d茅couvrir' pour son approche 茅ducative globale
Our 4-year-old son is in his second year at 脢tre et D茅couvrir and he loves it. The school is situated on the grounds of a beautiful ch芒teau in a lovely village. As a fully anglophone family we were a little worried that a bilingual environment might allow our son to get by speaking English without learning and becoming comfortable speaking French. After his first year in this bilingual Montessori environment, he is not only comfortable and confident in his language skills, but we've noticed him proactively seeking out opportunities to speak French outside of school. It's a very diverse group of children who all seem to get along quite well. The teachers are caring and responsive, and the community of parents has been a huge positive that we weren't expecting. We plan to enrol our youngest son in the toddler program when he turns two without hesitation.
The Montessori school is what we wanted for our daughter. It鈥檚 the second year for her and I remember last year, after a few months at this school she started to help more, to share with others and she was more confident. The educators are wonderful and full of energy. They encourage children to explore, to develop their independence and to express their feelings. I highly recommend this school
My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at 脢tre & D茅couvrir. The Montessori philosophy is ingrained in every aspect of the school and the teachers have helped her ease into the school extremely quickly. I highly recommend this international, bilingual school, where your child will be able to grow and develop to his/her full potential.
A great small international school! Very positive environment and located in amazing area - close to nature! Very caring teachers. Excellent for adapting foreign children.
The school is great, our child is super happy with the Montessori approach. The school is very well equipped, the teachers are kind and welcoming. There is multilingual environment, children coming from different countries which is great! Beautiful sourroundings: garden, chateau.. The school is private and you need to pay the fees, but its much worth it!

"Ma fille a fait toute sa scolarit茅 primaire 脿 芦 Etre et d茅couvrir 禄. Pendant ces 5 ann茅es, elle s鈥檈st 茅panoui tout en d茅veloppant son autonomie, sa cr茅ativit茅, son gout d鈥檃pprendre et sa capacit茅 脿 travailler en groupe. De plus, elle a acquis un excellent niveau d鈥橝nglais. Elle a int茅gr茅 la sixi猫me sans aucune difficult茅, comme si elle avait toujours 茅volu茅 dans un syst猫me 芦 classique 禄.
