École at Montessori - Babylone

The school aims to foster autonomous, curious, and confident children through a warm, pedagogical environment that encourages personal development. By utilizing the Montessori method, educators focus on the unique rhythm of each child, promoting independence, social responsibility, and a love for learning within a mixed-age classroom setting.

The curriculum is based on the Montessori method, organized into four key areas: practical life (coordination and concentration), language (oral and written development), sensory (logic and observation), and mathematics (counting and operations), alongside general culture, arts, and music. Each class features a unique bilingual structure with one native French-speaking educator and one native English-speaking educator, ensuring daily immersion in both languages.

The school maintains a high staff-to-student ratio to ensure individualized follow-up for every child. Progress is monitored through regular meetings with families in the autumn and spring, complemented by a written annual report starting from the 'petite section' level.

The school accepts applications for children aged 2 to 6 years. Prospective families are invited to contact the school via email or phone to schedule an appointment, as the admissions process considers factors such as class composition and available space.

The school operates throughout the academic year, with additional extracurricular programming available during after-school hours, Wednesdays, and school holidays. Holiday camps and workshops are provided in partnership with Pari-Grandir, offering full-day or half-day options for children aged 3 to 6.

The school operates two locations in Paris: one at 24 rue de Babylone (7th arrondissement) and another at 49 rue du Ranelagh (16th arrondissement). These sites serve as dedicated environments for early childhood development, specifically designed to support the Montessori method.

Through a partnership with the bilingual edutainment network Pari-Grandir, the school offers a variety of after-school, Wednesday, and holiday activities. These include yoga, musical awakening, theater, plastic arts, science, sports, magic, film, and cooking, led by qualified professionals and English-speaking animators.
