In the Lycée's hybrid model, the schedule for in-school learning and online learning time is determined by the students' level of social and emotional development. Students in Maternelle (Preschool), will spend a half day, four days a week in-person at school, with time for play and recess, so important in the youngest grades.
Nursery school in-person classes take place in the morning each day. PreK and Kindergarten students follow a half-day morning or afternoon schedule in person at school. Depending on their schedule, all Preschool students begin or round out the day in a live online session with their teachers.
Fridays are fully online for all Preschool students and are reserved for special subjects, including art, music, family activities and occasional assemblies, in both live and some pre-recorded sessions.
Fostering bilingualism
The development of bilingualism in French and in English in preparation for elementary school is at the center of this program. In the Preschool, students in each pod alternate their days in the school with one Francophone and one Anglophone teacher. Friday online sessions take place in English or in French, depending on the class and program for the day.
Online Lycée - for those who need it
Preschool students have an option to opt for a fully online program, with dedicated teachers and a continued balance of 50-50 French and English. The day includes live and pre-recorded online sessions that include art, music, and even playtime. Schedules are posted each week for ease of parent-guardian planning.
