Academics

 Curriculum Overview

Our academic program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in core subjects while developing critical thinking, creativity, and practical language skills. The curriculum follows national education requirements and is enriched with learner-centered teaching methods that emphasize understanding over memorization in all levels.

For the primary levels, we combine the national curriculum and the american curriculum ( we use the comprehension curriculum of basic skills  of carson dellosa Education)  to allow students to learn English earlier and more naturally, to  improve cognitive flexibility by being multilingual early, 

The combination of both also  expose students to global perspectives and  prepare students  for international opportunities

Particular attention is given to language instruction, especially English, which is taught through communication, interaction, and real-life use rather than rote learning. Lessons are structured to be engaging, supportive, and inclusive, ensuring that students of different backgrounds and learning speeds can progress with confidence.

Class sizes are kept as small as possible to allow teachers to know their students well, monitor progress closely, and adapt teaching strategies when needed.

Grade Levels

The school offers education across the following levels:

• Toddlers (New!)
  A gentle introduction to learning through play, routine, and social interaction. This program supports early emotional, physical, and language development in a safe and nurturing environment.
  
• Pre-K & Kindergarten
  Early childhood education focused on curiosity, creativity, and foundational skills. Children are introduced to numbers, letters, and basic concepts through structured play and age-appropriate activities.

  Focus on literacy, numeracy, and foundational knowledge, taught primarily in English and Malagasy when necessary  with a gradual and supported introduction to French.

• Upper Secondary School - tenth grade, eleventh grade and twelfth grade scientific group and literary group

At every level, the school prioritizes respect, discipline without fear, and a learning environment where students feel safe to ask questions and make mistakes.
