Practical life
A clear week, from 7:30am to 6:30pm
The rhythm of the school should make sense to children and parents alike. New School organises the week around four full days and Wednesday morning, with early-morning care, lunch, after-school care, supervised study and workshops depending on the options chosen.
The organisation of the week is a key element of the New School project.
The school operates on a five-day week, with class on Wednesday morning. This setup makes it possible to better spread learning across the week, preserve children's rhythm, and offer families a clear structure.
The 7:30am to 6:30pm range also helps reconcile academic demands, complementary activities and family organisation.

Our choice
Why a 5-day week with Wednesday morning?
Unlike many school schedules concentrated on 4 days, New School maintains a week with Wednesday morning.
This organisation makes it possible to spread learning more regularly, to limit overload on long days, and to better embed the bilingual approach in the long term.
Wednesday morning is part of the school rhythm. It maintains continuity in learning and offers a more progressive week for children.
After-school care
Morning welcome is included from 7:30am. It allows for a progressive arrival before classes begin at 9am.
After class, care is included from 4:30pm to 5pm. For families who need it, additional care is offered from 5pm to 6:30pm, as fixed packages or one-off tickets.
Study time
Supervised study is offered on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 5pm to 6:30pm.
It helps students get a head start on their work, learn to organise themselves and progressively build solid study habits.
Study time complements family follow-up by offering a regular, supervised slot to make progress with schoolwork.
Wednesday afternoon

From the 2026 start of term, Wednesday afternoon workshops are organised in partnership with Dragon Kids School.
