Academic Information

1) The Preschool

Preschool is a child’s first learning experience. The FSG’s main goal is to prepare the students for primary school while inspiring a desire and a love for learning.

In order to attend the preschool, a student must attain the age of 2 prior to 31 December of that year. Children who are 2 years old attend morning classes only. Those who are 3 years old may also attend afternoon classes. Students who are registered with another school may not attend classes for only half a day.

The preschool class combines children of preschool and kindergarten ages, following the same curriculum as that used in France. Activites are created on an age-appropriate basis, and are intended to integrate children into a larger group, while teaching them to learn and play amongst their peers. The kindergarten students also benefit from four hours of English lessons per week. An evaluation is prepared for the parents at the end of each semester.
