This includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- French<\/li>\n

- A third language (at EFI this is a choice between Khmer or Chinese Mandarin) for the children who have acquired French and English<\/li>\n

To study at school means questioning the world.<\/strong> It also means acquiring specific languages: French, English, the language of maths, sciences and computing, and the language of arts and of the body.<\/p>\nThe mastery of languages, notably that of the French language, is key.<\/p>\n
The acquisition of fundamental knowledge (reading, writing, arithmetic, respecting others) is the priority.<\/strong> For this, the teaching must be particularly structured and explicit. It is not only about giving meaning to what is learned, but also about seeing that learning progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nClasses are therefore organized around constant repetition of knowledge while it is being acquired, coupled with differentiated learning. It is a question of taking into account the particular educational needs<\/strong> or certain pupils who require specific educational arrangements.<\/p>\nAt the same time, we try to construct an understanding of autonomy in the students. An understanding of both concrete and abstract concepts are developed in the students through observation, action, manipulation and experimentation. They are encouraged to work out what they already know and know how to do<\/strong>, as well as reflecting while learning.

The class of 6e (grade 6) has a special role in the cycle: it allows the students to adapt to the rhythm, organization and general environment of junior high while continuing the learning that was started in CM1 (grade 4) and CM2 (grade 5).<\/p>\n
In Grade 7, 8 and 9, the objective is to enable students to develop skills in the different disciplines and in cross-disciplinary courses<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The health educational course, the artistic and cultural education course and the civic course offer students, adolescents who experience a new relationship with themselves and others, a framework allowing them to build in a climate of confidence essential skills before the abundance of new knowledge and new technologies, particularly digital. They must be able to approach interdisciplinary situations with personal and creative thinking while respecting the standards that are part of a common culture.<\/p>\n
More generally in cycle 3, students gain access to more abstract thinking that promotes reasoning and its implementation in more complex tasks<\/strong>. They are encouraged to act responsibly and to cooperate by doing projects, creating and producing a significant number of writings and by undertaking a variety of different tasks of all kinds. The media and IT education implemented since Cycle 2 will allow students to become more familiar with a question-style approach in the various fields of study.

In preschool class, children will learn to structure their environment, which will help them to structure their thinking.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> At this age, children tend to be scattered and bring together multiple activities that they start but rarely finish. So, structuring an environment of young children in fact serves to grant them greater autonomy.\u00a0Step by step, EFI provides children with the means to gain self-confidence, to learn in a group, to acquire skills and, quite simply, to learn to love school.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n EFI\u2019s educational program is bilingual with French and English, that is to say that it is a single program, respecting the objectives set by the French National Education. Nevertheless, it will be enriched by certain specificities from the English system, linked notably to the teaching of language proficiency and to English-speaking culture.\u00a0With their two teachers, students will be able to discover two different linguistic and cultural universes.<\/strong>\u00a0Teaching the students the concept of taking pleasure in learning and respecting the rhythm of their individual development by offering everyone the necessary support are principles at the heart of our philosophy.<\/p>\n If a child has the opportunity to be immersed in a harmonious environment favourable to development and personal growth, they will have all the bases necessary to build their educational and academic successes. Games, experiments, observations, individual or collective autonomous activities are all exercises that shape the knowledge and skills of students.\u00a0Ultimately, EFI aims to give them a range of tools that will allow them to realise their potential on a personal level and, later, on a professional level.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Primary school welcomes children aged 6 to 11. It includes 2 cycles; cycle 2<\/b> (Grade 1, 2 and 3) and cycle 3<\/b> (Grade 4 and 5).<\/p>\n This includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n To study at school means questioning the world.<\/strong> It also means acquiring specific languages: French, English, the language of maths, sciences and computing, and the language of arts and of the body.<\/p>\n The mastery of languages, notably that of the French language, is key.<\/p>\n The acquisition of fundamental knowledge (reading, writing, arithmetic, respecting others) is the priority.<\/strong> For this, the teaching must be particularly structured and explicit. It is not only about giving meaning to what is learned, but also about seeing that learning progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Classes are therefore organized around constant repetition of knowledge while it is being acquired, coupled with differentiated learning. It is a question of taking into account the particular educational needs<\/strong> or certain pupils who require specific educational arrangements.<\/p>\n At the same time, we try to construct an understanding of autonomy in the students. An understanding of both concrete and abstract concepts are developed in the students through observation, action, manipulation and experimentation. They are encouraged to work out what they already know and know how to do<\/strong>, as well as reflecting while learning. They learn how to carry out the fundamental school activities that will help them all through their time at school. Furthermore, they learn to justify rationally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> After primary school, middle school (cycle 3 and 4) emphasizes the transition to secondary education. It is organized in 4 levels from Grade 6 to Grade 9 and is structured in pedagogical cycles.<\/p>\n<\/div> The teachings are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The class of 6e (grade 6) has a special role in the cycle: it allows the students to adapt to the rhythm, organization and general environment of junior high while continuing the learning that was started in CM1 (grade 4) and CM2 (grade 5).<\/p>\n In Grade 7, 8 and 9, the objective is to enable students to develop skills in the different disciplines and in cross-disciplinary courses<\/b>.<\/p>\n The health educational course, the artistic and cultural education course and the civic course offer students, adolescents who experience a new relationship with themselves and others, a framework allowing them to build in a climate of confidence essential skills before the abundance of new knowledge and new technologies, particularly digital. They must be able to approach interdisciplinary situations with personal and creative thinking while respecting the standards that are part of a common culture.<\/p>\n More generally in cycle 3, students gain access to more abstract thinking that promotes reasoning and its implementation in more complex tasks<\/strong>. They are encouraged to act responsibly and to cooperate by doing projects, creating and producing a significant number of writings and by undertaking a variety of different tasks of all kinds. The media and IT education implemented since Cycle 2 will allow students to become more familiar with a question-style approach in the various fields of study. They are led to develop a keen sense of observation, curiosity, critical thinking and, more generally, autonomy of thought.<\/strong><\/p>\n At the end of the Grade 9, students take the National French Diploma <\/b>exams in collaboration with the CNED<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> EFI grows along with its students and each year a new grade is added.<\/strong> \u00a02022-2023 is the year of the creation of the High school with the opening of a 2nd\/Grade 10 and, through our accreditation with Cambridge International<\/a>, our first High School students took the IGCSE<\/a> test in May 2023. In 2024, 1ere\/G11 students will take the preliminary Baccalaureate examinations. Finally, it is in 2025 that EFI will have its first Baccalaur\u00e9at (High School Diploma) graduated students.<\/p>\n<\/div> During the Seconde \u2013 Grade 10 year, students\u00a0 strengthen their knowledges and make academic choices for the Premi\u00e8re \u2013 Grade 11 class regarding their skills and their wishes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
