French International Programme
French International Programme
(CP to CM2)
Primary School:
Nurturing bilingual leaders
of tomorrow
A distinctive programme for ages 6–11 that seamlessly combines the French national curriculum with immersive English-language learning, promoting academic excellence, cultural understanding, and global preparedness.
Our Approach
At Redbridge, we believe in the power of bilingual education to open doors to the world. Our French International Programme equips students with a solid academic foundation, and exceptional language skills.
A well-rounded focus on academic, creative, and social growth.
A hands-on, creative, and inquiry-driven learning approach.
A bilingual approach that equally integrates French and English, adhering to the Cambridge International Education curriculum for English and aligning with the standards set by the French Ministry of Education and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
A supportive and pluricultural learning community, embracing cultural and linguistic diversity to prepare students for a globalized world.
Ideal-sized groups of learners, with approximately 20 students per tutor class.
We place a strong emphasis on interactive and experiential learning, with our teachers utilizing a variety of methods to actively engage students. This includes group activities, projects, and hands-on experiences—such as trips to the forest—that immerse students in the learning process.
Our goal is to cultivate a lifelong love of learning while developing critical thinking skills and fostering curiosity.
SCHEDULES
School hours for our students in the Primary Years are from 8:30 to 16:00, Monday to Friday
Curriculum
Our Primary Years welcomes students from CP to CM2. The Primary Years are a crucial phase in our students’ lives and set the stage for their academic journey by imparting fundamental knowledge, skills, and values.
Our programme, accredited by the French Ministry of Education, follows the requirements of the French national curriculum, while offering a comprehensive range of subjects designed to provide a well-rounded and enriching educational experience.
Languages
- French
- English: instruction and content are differentiated to support our native speakers and students developing English as an additional language. At this level, we introduce the Cambridge International Education programs for English, which provide a structured curriculum for the development of proficiency in the language.
- Portuguese: students also learn, or continue to develop, Portuguese as a third language, having two classes a week and being grouped depending on their level of command.
Redbridge School follows the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and its descriptors. The Specification for Junior Cycle Foreign Languages issued by the CEFR for students between the ages of 7 and 11 aims to develop communicative language skills broadly aligned with the A band (A1 to A2) and early B1 level for some students who have reached advanced proficiency.
Mathematics: at this stage, students have an introduction to mathematical concepts and problem-solving. Mathematics is taught in both French and English, through the Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract (CPA) approach (also called the Singapore Maths methods), aiming at tangibly introducing concepts and progressing to increasing levels of abstraction.
Questionner le Monde is taught in English, where students develop knowledge about the natural world and scientific principles.
Physical Education: Encouraging physical activity and a healthy lifestyle.
Visual and Expressive Arts: Exploring creativity through art, music, and other forms of expression.
