Start Code in Early Age |
Children today are learning to interface with technology at younger ages, but they are still rarely prompted to think about where the applications they use come from. Coding and programming (computational thinking) are becoming vital parts of a child’s experience and knowledge base formation.
We encourage very limited exposure to electronic screens for children ages 0-6yrs, and offer specially adapted courses for technology learning.
Ski Week
Once a year a group of children travel by train to the Alps to experience a week of ski and winter fun! Accompanied by our Montessori teachers and ESF monitors, the children enjoy a full morning of skiing followed by an afternoon of school work and various evening activities. Living, working and enjoying nature together is a stimulating experience that will be cherished for a lifetime. |
Pony Trip
The Pony Club welcomes our children in June each year for a week of discovery. In the company of our teachers and the club counsellors. The children learn proper care and enjoyment of riding their pony. They are involved in brushing, feeding and tacking-up their pony before they ride. The accommodation and grounds provide ample space for enjoying meals and living all together, and for organized indoor and outdoor activities at the end of each day. |

Parent Community Activities
Je suis certaine que le début d’apprentissage de mes enfants dans votre école dès leur plus jeune âge a donné confiance en eux, le sens du respect des autres et une vrai autonomie. Our time at BMSP has been so formative and special for us; we have learned a great deal as parents, had the opportunity to be a part of a wonderful community, and our child has had the best start to a ‘whole’ education that we and she could have hoped for. The fact that she has always, every day, wanted to go to school, as much for the teachers and learning as for her friends, is a testament to all that you have given her, both in and out of school. |
