From CP to CM2 (Grades 1 to 5), for children aged 6 to 10, each student progresses at their own pace with personalized teaching in a studious and friendly atmosphere.
Established for over ten years in Aix-en-Provence, the École Privée du Val Saint André allows each student to achieve their personalized goals, established in agreement with the family and the teaching team.
Teaching is provided by competent, experienced teachers who are available and attentive to each student. English is reinforced from CP with 5 hours of English per week in the traditional section and 1 hour per week in the bilingual section with the Cambridge bilingual program Starters, Movers and Flyers.
Alongside academic teaching, extracurricular cultural and sporting activities allow each student to flourish fully.
In primary school, each student moves at their own pace toward clear objectives, defined with their family and the teaching team. Small class sizes (maximum 20/22 students) guarantee regular monitoring, while reinforced English — 5 hours of English per week in the traditional section and 1 hour per week of Cambridge bilingual program Starters, Movers and Flyers in the bilingual section — establishes true bilingualism. Cultural and sporting activities complement learning for complete personal development.
