Wi School Puteaux

Wi School Puteaux offers full immersion in a bilingual environment. Teachers speak to the children in their mother tongue and arouse their interest in the culture of their country of origin. Children can learn and practise the second language at their own pace throughout their school years.

Wi School Puteaux is part of a network aiming to promote a new educational approach in pre-school, using authentic Montessori teaching methods.

The school’s educational quality is based on 4 major requirements:

• qualified teachers
• classes of multiple age groups to promote communication and emulation
• complete Montessori material designed to support the child’s development
• independent activities in the morning and in the afternoon to respect the child’s free choice, learning pace and concentration.

In primary school, the Montessori material is always there, and the teachers, drawing on their diverse experience, also develop other teaching methods and tools in order to best meet the students’ learning goals. One of the principles of the Montessori pedagogy that is also applied in primary school is the mixing of age groups. This promotes collaboration, communication and a sense of belonging. Younger students are inspired to learn by observing older students and imitating them. Older students can help younger ones. We learn a lot when we can explain things to someone else. Moreover, it’s rewarding! This helps to make the students more responsible.

The school’s mission is to help children achieve their full potential and become independent, confident, respectful and responsible individuals. The teaching team is fully committed and highly qualified, with a native English-speaking teacher, a French-speaking teacher and one assistant in each classroom. They play an important role in developing children’s individuality and full potential!
