Middle school preparation
A path towards demanding Lyon middle schools
A bilingual continuity tailored to families aiming for international sections or selective middle schools.
Our goal is not only that pupils leave New School with a good level of English. We want them to leave CM2 with strong foundations, a method, clear expression in both French and English, and the maturity to enter a demanding middle school.
This preparation covers academic content but also the posture of a student: listening, getting organised, producing careful work, explaining an idea, cooperating and meeting the expectations of a more structured school environment.
Partnerships with recognised Lyon middle schools help families understand the secondary requirements, particularly for those who plan to enter international sections or bilingual programmes.
