Raising truly bilingual children in Paris
Discover the Power of a French–English Bilingual Education
Values
of École Bilingue Chardin
Ecole Bilingue Chardin aims to give each child the keys to their development and success. Thanks to small class sizes, the Chardin Bilingual School offers personalized bilingual education that combines traditional and innovative teaching methods[/bf].
Our team is fully dedicated to building a strong foundation from preschool through elementary school, ensuring a smooth and successful transition to secondary education.
Our educational approach is based upon 4 key pillars:
Bilingual Immersive Instruction
More than just mastering a language, we strive to foster in every child openness to the world and deeper mutual understanding through immersive bilingual education.
From the Two-Year Old Section (Toute Petite Section) onward, each class is led by two teachers: one French-speaking and one English-speaking. Starting in first grade (CP), students follow a bilingual schedule that alternates two full days in French with two full days in English, complemented by bilingual workshops on Wednesday mornings.
This approach enables children to thrive in a bilingual or strictly English-or French-speaking secondary school environment.
Small Class Sizes
Class sizes are limited to 20 students per class, allowing for an individualized, personalized teaching approach and fostering a caring environment.
The Chardin Bilingual School helps each child develop their potential, creativity, and self-confidence. The Chardin Bilingual School goes beyond basic learning, and aims for the personal development of each child, by preparing them for a successful secondary education.
Unique Educational Focus
École Bilingue Chardin goes beyond the national curriculum standards. High-quality written and oral expression as well as innovative and attractive mathematics learning methods are our top priorities. The DNA of École Bilingue Chardin also includes giving children the opportunity to take part in artistic and sporting activities every day, to foster greater commitment, cooperation and resilience.
Cutting-Edge Teaching Methods
Our teachers are trained in the most effective learning methods. While complying with the official curriculum, continuously draw on international teaching innovations to provide a confident, effective, and high-quality education.
At École Bilingue Chardin, we believe the ultimate goal of education is to raise well-rounded, confident individuals—open to others and to the changes of the world—who are ready to adapt to whatever the future holds. This vision is our guiding compass in every moment your child will be sharing with us.
The trust you place in us binds us to this commitment.
Our values
Creativity, personal development, and openness to others are at the heart of our concerns for your children, just as much as fundamental learning.
