[25/08/2011]
La Rentrée for the 2011-12 school year is just around the
corner ! New and returning students for all over the world will be
arriving for their first day of school at EPIM in Marseille and Aix-en-Provence (Luynes) on
Monday the 5
th of September.
The Private
International Bilingual schools of Marseille and the Mediterranean
have many exciting pedagogical projects and lessons for the students this year.
As every year, the schools appreciate feedback from parents and the community as
they constantly strive to evolve and innovate.
This year
EPIM introduces German and Italian lessons adding to the Dutch lessons already offered
at the school. As every year, EPIM proposes Mandarin and Taekwondo lessons to
children ages 4 and up.
EPIM is pleased to be continuing their theatre visits as for last year with exciting
productions and school workshops linked to each production. The school's music
and drama specialists have been involved in selecting these sessions and will
tailor their programs to extend learning opportunities to the shows. There are
also planned visits for classes to and from a farm, the planetarium and museums
linked to the learning in class.
Last year
the "classes transportées" were also hugely successful. This year, Cycle 3 students
will have an opportunity to participate in the "classe de neige," learning to
ski but also important life and social skills of a residential visit. Grande
Section and Cycle 2 children will also have a "classe verte" with activities
tailored to their ages.
EPIM in Aix
is launching an allotment project where each class can plant and grow produce. This
incorporates all aspects of learning and gives a great sense of satisfaction
and achievement to children.
We're looking forward to welcoming all our students and staff and can't wait to start the year off right!
