School is often seen as the first formal learning environment for young children, but at New School Lyon, it's much more than that. It's a place where adventure meets learning, where every day offers a new opportunity to discover, play and grow.
A unique learning environment
At New School Lyon, children are immersed in a bilingual environment from an early age. This not only lays the foundations for a fluent command of two languages, but also helps them to develop a valuable open-mindedness and adaptability. The classrooms are designed to stimulate children's natural curiosity, with bright colours, varied educational resources and spaces that invite exploration and learning.
A child-centred approach
New School Lyon's teaching approach emphasises learning through play. Teachers recognise and encourage each child's individual interests, guiding their curiosity through playful activities. They teach basic skills such as numbers, letters, shapes and colours, while developing essential social and emotional skills.
Developing autonomy and confidence
At New School Lyon, children also learn independence and self-confidence. We encourage simple but fundamental activities such as helping to put toys away to develop independence and an understanding of the importance of contributing to the classroom community.
An open door to nature and discovery
New School Lyon is not limited to the walls of the classroom. The programme includes regular outdoor activities, allowing children to connect with nature and learn from their direct surroundings. Whether observing insects in the school garden or learning to plant flowers, children develop an appreciation for the natural world.
A partnership with parents
New School Lyon strongly believes in a strong partnership with parents. Teachers communicate regularly with families, sharing each child's progress, discoveries and happy moments. We also organise workshops for parents, offering practical advice on supporting bilingual learning at home and understanding the stages of a child's development.
So the New School Lyon experience is much more than just the start of an educational journey; it's an adventure rich in discovery, play and learning, preparing children not just for school but for life.
