French Maternelle / Bilingual Maternelle (French / English)

For native French-speaking children who can understand and/or speak some of the language, with at least one native French-speaking parent.

This is a full-time programme taking place every morning (and/or afternoon) and following the same syllabus as all French schools abroad, with a main emphasis on acquiring a solid foundation in the language(s).

We offer different levels to meet the needs of each child.

Amongst other things, and according to his age and level, your child will:

• develop his/her oral skills and learn to communicate with others;
• learn to count, group, measure, recognise shapes, colours...;
• learn basic writing and reading skills;
• gain visual spatial and time awareness;
• train his/her memory ;
• learn to interact and share with other children;
• develop his/her motor skills;
• discover the world around him/herself;
• cultivate his general awareness, imagination and creativity.

The main aim is to set your child on the first step of his/her learning journey in French (and English).

These courses are the ideal path to French International Primary School.

For families living in Discover Bay or Lantau, please see "Les Petits Lascars de DB", a FLAM accredited project which offers French Maternelle classes for children aged 3-5 every morning.
