Entering preschool, a major step in your child’s schooling

The mission of École Privée Moléson is that each child of the 1st cycle (frome the 1H to the 4H)  develops his or her potential on a personal, social, motor and cognitive level, relying on the advantages of an environment open to languages, as well as on appropriate activities to promote a successful entry into the school world.

Goal 1

Propose pedagogical and educational activities in order to raise children’s awareness of openness to languages. Thanks to the German and English immersion courses, children acquire knowledge that will allow them to be comfortable in this language on a daily basis.
Language immersion
More than German and English lessons, the children of the 1-2-3 and 4H participate in joint activities, also taught in English or German. Thus, gymnastics, swimming pool, manual and creative activities can be given in one of the two languages. The goal is for children to be made aware of these languages through language immersion

Goal 2

Establish organizational structures and educational interventions that promote the overall development of each child. The interaction between students of different ages promotes the autonomy, mutual aid and allows better learning. In addition, students do certain activities together such as Sports, Music, Visual Arts… . Thiy way better relationships are established between the older and the younger, some feeling boosted, others valued. For all activities, the skills required are specified by level.
The school in forest
The students of the 1st cycle of the Private School Moléson have the advantage of being able to spend one half-day a week in the forest with their enseignant.es. Children learn in immersion and in contact with nature. This practical learning of nature and the environment has a positive effect on the physical and psychological development of the child. By becoming a classroom, the forest helps maintain a strong motivation to learn in the long term; it encourages physical activity and also helps to evacuate stress; it increases the child's self-confidence and ability to collaborate with others. The accompanying persons have the pedagogical and methodological skills to transmit knowledge in an adapted way, to establish links with nature and to make a contribution to education for sustainable development, which is also one of the missions of the Moléson Private School as part of the Eco-Schools Programm

Goal 3

Guarantee a warm and family place where children learn through real situations and through specific support. The importance of early learning, socialization, knowledge construction and the implementation of cognitive tools are important steps in the overall development of the child.
Eco-School programme
École Privée Moléson participates in the Eco-Schools programme: the largest international education for sustainable development (ESD) programme that allows schools to develop their ESD practices and commit to a more sustainable operation. In July 2023, the jury of independant experts awarded it the Eco-Schools Label. In this, the school aims to learn from real situations, including in nature to promote the concrete implementation of sustainable development on the ground; wants encourage young people to play a leading role in society and its development; seeks to reduce the ecological footprint of the school. The students are the driving force of the project through their eco-committee, composed of students, technical staff, teachers. Their first mission is to develop clear, pragmatic and achievable projects. Their first task is to developp clear, pragmatic and realistic projects. This programm is transversal in that it is put into practice in several branches through various very concrete actons (e.g: the election of class delegates for the eco-committee, the weighing of waste in the recreation room, the "do-it-yourself with recycled materials, "zero-waste" Friday, preparation of awareness raising panels in French and German, setting up a compost, "sweep day", writing and sending a letter to the people of the photo agency for a more economical and ecological managment of the pictures taken at the EPM...)
