Discovery Day is a wonderful, fun-filled introduction to The École’s unique bilingual curriculum, which allows children to flourish individually and as part of a group, in the friendly welcoming environment of their classrooms.
A Wonderful Way to Meet the Community
Families are also invited to the Multi-Purpose Room and the rooftop, where they can meet other members of The École community: the leadership team, teachers, and Parent Ambassadors. It’s an opportunity for interested parents to meet members of The École’s teaching team, which is composed of qualified and experienced French and American native-speaking teachers, all certified by the French Ministry of Education and New York State respectively.
In a relaxed and friendly setting, parents will get to meet the Head of school, the leadership team, and parent ambassadors over light refreshments, while the children take part in activities and games supervised by their school life assistants and partners. Balloon sculpting, face painting, sketching, fishing, and lots of other surprises are scheduled to keep your children delighted during Discovery Day.
