OUR PRE-SCHOOL CURRICULUM

At our international pre-school in Switzerland, our youngest children follow a blend of Swiss, French, and British curricula, which has been specifically designed by Champittet teachers for our students.


Delivered on our Pully campus – which is a warm, friendly, and exciting place to learn – our curriculum nurtures our pre-school children’s all-round growth through purposeful play, activities, and games. All our students learn in both English and French, and are taught by native speakers.

LEARNING THROUGH PLAY

We know that children learn best when they’re happy, stimulated, and engaged, which is why every day is packed with exciting, hands-on experiences. These include plenty of opportunities for experiential learning, both in and beyond the classroom.

Supported by our caring teachers and teaching assistants, your child will develop their motor and movement skills, use their imagination, and take control of their learning. A typical day for our youngest learners includes storytelling, reading, simple maths, art and design, as well as socialising, discussion and reasoning. 

In small class sizes, your child will receive the attention they need to flourish, too. Our teachers will identify their emerging strengths and talents and create a supportive environment where every success is celebrated

OUR FOREST SCHOOL

At our Forest School your child will spend several hours each week learning in the great outdoors.

Our youngest students take part in activities – from identifying plants and bugs to singing songs about their surroundings – that add a fun, real-world element to learning.

Getting out in the fresh air inspires our pre-school children to exercise, explore, invent, initiate, and dream, as well as to concentrate, observe, marvel, listen, and work. Our Forest School also instils a love of new discoveries and an appreciation for the natural world.
