The International Private Bilingual School, offers 2 curricula :

- INTERNATIONAL Cursus - NATIONAL Cursus

The active pedagogy and the implemented ways of teaching allow every pupil to develop their sense of creativity early and this also enables the students to become independent thinkers and future responsible citizens of the world. This international awareness is increased by the wide opening the school has on the world. The EPBI welcomes students from many different backgrounds: – There are French students whose parents want their children to have a bilingual education. – There are French students who have returned from a stay abroad (a long or a short one) – There are students from many different nationalities (British, American, Australian, Spanish, Russian, Chinese …) – There are students who have completed a part of their schooling in a European School, a French Lycée or an International School.

Specifics

The School Philosophy EPBI is a demanding and ambitious school offering the road to success to each pupil. Pupils are at the heart of our teaching philosophy. We are extremely attached to our bilingualism, and even multilingualism here which supports the opportunity of a world education. Teaching based on academic skills which develops cognitive skills is paramount. However, these skills alone are not sufficient for an international education. Therefore, affective and meta-cognitive skills are actively developed in order to favour creative thinking and a critical mind. Academic skills, as well as thinking, communication, social and research skills are extremely important too.

Teaching is based on the understanding of concepts, boosted by research and group work in both local and world contexts.

Our values : - Creative and critical thinking, - Rigour and personal fullfilment, - Respect and tolerance.

The objectives of the school

We wish to encourage the development of each student’s personality and potential by helping them to think in a creative manner, to argue in a critical way and be open minded in their learning and their approach towards all different cultures. We want the students to reach an excellent level in at least two languages (French and English) so that they can build inter-cultural relationships with others from diverse nationalities. We aim to transmit a high level of knowledge, understanding and skills to the students which will enable them to study anywhere in the world. We would like all our students to develop their sense of self-respect and respect of others which will allow them to become wise and responsible citizens of the world.

Strong points - Becoming bilingual in both French and English. - A unique education structure. - Small classes. - School trips abroad. - The spacious and safe environment of the school. - An international environment: - We welcome foreign students who do not speak french in Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary - We welcome french speakers, bilingual and non-bilingual students in Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary school. International students represent 20% of our pupils, added to these students, there are also french speakers who have returned to France after having lived and studied abroad. All these particular advantages are real assets for these students who join the EPBI.

The objectives of the EPBI are to:

- Favour the development of the personality and the potential of every pupil by helping them to think in a creative way, to argue in a critical way and to be open to learning and to various cultures.

- Give excellent skills to all pupils in at least 2 languages (French and English) which will enable them to build intercultural relations with others, whatever their nationality.

- Promulgate a level of knowledge, skills and understanding allowing them to study all over the world.

- Encourage students to develop a sense of self-respect and respect for others and to allow each pupil to become a respectful and responsible citizen of the world.

The IB programmes are based on various international ideas and best practices.

These programmes initiate international awareness and encourage greater thinking beyond the immediate local environment.

The IB offers a greater-developed programme encouraging learners to enhance their intellectual curiosity, knowledge, awareness and determination to succeed.

The International Baccalaureate International (IB) Study Programme

The teaching language in the different subject groups is English. Bilingual learners can study one of their subjects in group 3 or 4 in a different language then their language of instruction.

1st Year IB DP (Year12 / 11th grade) and 2nd Year IB DP (Year 13 / 12th grade)

The study programme is made up of six subject groups and the common core.

The Common Core, which is made up of three parts, aims to broaden the learner’s educational experience and to encourage them to apply this knowledge and skill later.

Theory of Knowledge (TOK), which helps students to think about the nature of knowledge and to examine how we know what we claim to know. The Dissertation, allows learners to carry out personal and independent research ending in a written dissertation of 4000 words.



7

The Creativity, Action, Service Programme, which allows learners to accomplish a project made up of these three concepts.

Thanks to this common core of the diploma programme, learners think about the nature of knowledge, carry out independent research and project work which often involve some sort of community service.

The Six Subject Groups

▪ Group 1 : Language and Literature ▪ Group 2 : Language Acquisition ▪ Group 3 : Individuals et Societies ▪ Group 4 : Sciences ▪ Group 5 : Mathematics ▪ Group 6 : Arts

Different subjects are offered in each group.

Choice of subjects in the IB Diploma Programme

IB Diploma students choose a subject from the frist 5 groups and an extra subject from either group 6 (The Arts) or a second subject from either groups 1 to 4.

Certain subjects will be studied at Higher level (HL), whereas others will be at Standard Level (SL).

HL and SL courses differ in scope but are measured according to the same grade descriptors.

However, students at HL are expected to demonstrate a greater body of knowledge, understanding and skills at this higher level. Each student must take at least three (but no more than four) subjects at higher level, and the remaining at standard level.

Standard level subjects require 150 teaching hours whereas the higher level are comprised of 240 hours.

This is remarkably beneficial for the students not only linguistically but also cognitively.

This early learning is based principally on expression, focusing mainly on listening and oral activities. Our students evolve in an environment which stimulates them through interaction, by playing with other students and through games. The children develop their autonomy, their self-confidence, their self-respect and respect for others. We encourage curiosity and the taking of initiative. The educational team is composed of both native English and French speaking teachers.Each teacher is accompanied by a kindergarten assistant at all times. During this period when verbal communication is favoured, the kindergarten classes have the most simple yet effective methods of learning TPS / Petite Section the children will be totally immersed in English. The kindergarten teacher, a native English speaker, will help them develop their creative capacities for learning. In the classroom, at break time, in the canteen, they will talk, listen and sing in English. Moyenne Section and Grande Section The students are in immersion on alternate days. - They study early learning subjects in English with a native speaking teacher. - They study French for Mathematics and French with a native speaking teacher. According to their ages, activities such as psychomotricity and baby tennis are practised each week.

The INTERNATIONAL Baccalaureate

The IB programmes are successful throughout the world because :

- the learner is at the centre of all teaching ; - they develop efficient teaching methods and learning skills ; - different world contexts are integrated into the course to help learners open up to different

languages and cultures ;

The IB Diploma programme is balanced and rigorous

It helps to develop the intellectual, social and emotional well-being of the students and is recognised by the best universities worldwide.

All the IB programmes, including the IB diploma programme, stress the importance of learner development, which conforms to the qualities presented in the IB learner profile.

The IB learner profile describes a wide range of far-reaching aptitudes and human responsibilities. These qualities involve commitment towards helping all members of the entire school community to respect themselves, each other and the whole world they live in.

Learners must also be inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, carers, risk takers, balanced and reflective.

DELF and DALF (Diploma in French and National Diploma in Advanced French)

The DELF and DALF are the only official diplomas delivered by the French National Education Ministry for the learning of French as a foreign language. They follow the 7 language levels set by the CEFR (Common European Framework Reference) from A1.1 to C2. They are valid for life and have international recognition. They officially validated and assess the level of French as a foreign language within education. The DELF Primary is adapted for 7 to 11 year olds in primary. The DELF Primary consists of 3 levels : A1.1, A1 and A2. This certification is based on positive evaluation and is perfect to help stimulate the motivation of children learning French as a foreign language. The DELF Junior is suitable for 12 to 18 year olds who attend secondary school or sixth form. The DELF Junior consists of 4 levels: A1, A2, B1 and B2. This represents an important learning stage for a teenager in order to validate their acquisition skills in French. Each level consists of 4 exam papers, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking and writing.

DELE

The DELE ( Spanish as a foreign language) attests the degree of competence a student has for the Spanish language. It is for people living in a country where Spanish is not the mother tongue. These diplomas are recognised not only by official bodies that are established in Spanish speaking countries but also by companies, teaching bodies and universities throughtout the world.

ZD, ZMP

The ZD (Zertifikat Deutsch) is considered to be a good attestation of a knowledge of basic written and spoken German taking into account both comprehension as well as expression. The ZMP (Zentrale Mittelstufenprüfung) attests a very advanced levl of written and spoken German. Having this certificate means that in numerous universities, students are exempt from passing a language entrance exam. The ZD & the ZMP are recognised throughtout the world by companies and numerous German universities as an « Entrance Pass ».

Cambridge University Exams KET, PET, FCE, CAE, YLE

Cambridge exams are well known in the French Academic environment and in the professional one. They are representative of a reliable English level and are recognized internationally. Exam centers are controlled in France by the Cambridge Examinations Officer (CEO).

Certification preparation: specific preparation for exams according to level and age of each pupil.

YLE (Young Learners English test/Starters-Movers-Flyers) for Primary School pupils There are three levels: Starters, Movers (A1*), Flyers (A2*) Objectives of these tests: - to test the use of English in a precise and fair way. - to present a positive first impression of exams at an international level. - to promote efficient teaching and knowledge. - to encourage future teaching and knowledge. KET (Key English Test) (A2*) The first level of the Cambridge University examinations is the KET. This exam validates a pre-intermediate level of English and represents the first step towards higher level recognition for students wanting to progress to the Preliminary English Test (PET). PET (Preliminary English Test) (B1*) This exam, corresponding to an intermediate level, allows validation of English which will allow you to “get by” in any everyday situation. This is the “threshold” level which is defined by the Council of Europe.

FCE (First Certificate in English) (B2*) This exam corresponds to an upper-intermediate level, internationally recognised in business, trade and industry. Related fields of work include: PR, Bilingual or Trilingual Secretary, Personal Assistant, International Trade, Hotel and Tourism, Banking, Transport, Travel Agents, International Airlines, Embassy work, Interpreting and Translating, IT, EU organisations, etc. ...

CAE (Certificate in Advanced English) (C1*) The CAE is an advanced level of English which is a lot higher and demanding than the FCE. The CAE consists of real English and validates an advanced English level for learners wishing to use the language in a professional context. This exam is usually taken at the end of very high level studies. Related fields of work include: PR, Bilingual or Trilingual Secretary, Personal Assistant, International Trade, Hotel and Tourism, Banking, Transport, Travel Agents, International Airlines, Embassy work, Interpreting and Translating, IT, EU organisations, etc. ...

School activities

Depending on the curriculum of each class, we organize activities such as tennis, golf… Psychomotricity for the 2 to 4 This type of physical exercise is specially designed for two to four year olds and contributes to his/her physical sensory, emotional and intellectual development. It’s the time for exploring, for expressing oneself, for behaving in a familiar environment at first and then little by little less habitual ones. Tennis from MS to 5eme Playing tennis means respecting your opponent, respecting yourself and those who ensure that the rules are applied. Golf from CM1 to 5eme

This sport instils patience, concentration and perseverance into the students. The lessons are given by golf coaches.

External actors We invite speakers to the school, artists, lecturers, storytellers etc… They also enrich the contents of a years schooling. School outings

There are school outings such as going to a concert at the Opera House in Montpellier, a visit to the Space Adventure Park in Toulouse, museums, seeing a play in English in a theatre, visiting the salt marsh in Aigues-Mortes, the medieval city of Carcassonne, the international mediterranean film festival, the dinosaur park in Meze…



17

Discovery classes and trips abroad Each year, the pupils from Moyenne Section & Grande Section in Kindergarten and Cours Préparatoire who wish to participate, can go on a five day discovery trip with their teachers. Mini – school trips

Outings and cultural trips are fully integrated into our project: Cité de l’Espace (Space City in Toulouse), Palais de la Découverte and Cité des Sciences in Paris, Futuroscope in Poitiers...

Discovery trips This educational trip is a privileged moment in the school year. During the outing, a real relationship is built up between the children and the adults, the hierarchy changes and a new set of moral values is installed. This trip is based on new experiences and an unknown living environment, on discoveries and doing new activities such as being on a farm,in a garden, learning about astronomy, working with ponies, learning about nature and participating in workshops such as bread-making, jam-making, learning about the flora and the fauna in the area, learning how to make a herbarium. These outings give a sense to what learning is about and act as springboard for acquiring new skills.These educational field trips are the successful conclusion to an educational project, but it also marks the start of new initiatives.

School trips abroad Since the school opened, the Private International Bilingual School has organized a two-week trip abroad. This is an optional trip, set up for students in the classes CE2 To Terminale. It is planned very carefully within the educational framework of the school.

The pupils, supervised by members of the teaching staff, discover different cultures whilst visiting the different english speaking destinations such as the USA, Canada, but also nearer countries such as Malta or Ireland.
