Practical life
A structured week, designed for children and families
5-day week with Wednesday morning, 7:30am to 6:30pm range, after-school care and study included, Wednesday clubs and workshops.
The organisation of the week is a key element of the New School project.
The school operates on a 5-day week with Wednesday morning class. 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 constraints.

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 50/50 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 does not replace family follow-up, but it offers a regular, supervised and useful slot for children who benefit from structure.
Wednesday afternoon
Clubs and workshops with Dragon Kids School
From the 2026 start of term, Wednesday afternoon workshops are organised in partnership with Dragon Kids School.
