Babylone school

Classroom Environment

A French speaking AMI (International Montessori Association) certified teacher and a native English-speaking teacher supervise your child throughout the day with an assistant during the lunch period and teacher breaks. 

Each child learns to become autonomous and to respect the rules of community life.  The handling and understanding of the Montessori activities on a daily basis and with respect of the child’s rhythm allow the child to develop his concentration and dexterity. The “At Montessori” school offers an international environment, open to multicultural exchange and diversity.  The child, immersed in a multilingual environment, naturally discovers, absorbs, and becomes familiar with a new language.
