The Arts
École Bilingue Chardin is named after the painter Jean Siméon Chardin, considered one of the greatest painters of the 18th century.
Proust beautifully described, in regard to Chardin, the impact that the beauty of Art can have on each individual:
In those rooms where you see nothing but the image of the banality of others and the reflection of your own boredom, Chardin enters like light, giving color to each thing, evoking from the eternal night in which they were buried, all the beings of still life or living nature, with the meaning of their form, so brilliant for the eye, so obscure for the mind. Like the Princess awakened, each one is returned to life, regains color, begins to speak with you, to live, to endure.
At École Bilingue Chardin, every child, from preschool to primary school, learns to know, appreciate, and make Art a factor of personal development from an early age. Early exposure to Art encourages creative thinking, problem-solving, overall engagement, and the ability to collaborate and communicate.

We are convinced that education in the Arts leads to greater academic and social success and benefits students socially and emotionally. By working on resilience and the sense of belonging, artistic education also shapes citizens who are more engaged in their community.
