Bilingual Track

Within the Bilingual track at La Petite Ecole Bangkok, the French National Curriculum is taught in both French and English by two certified, native-speaking teachers, from Nursery – Petite Section (2.5 years old) to Kindergarten – Grande Section (6 years old).

The school days alternate between French and English: one day in French, the next in English. This daily immersion allows children to naturally acquire both languages through authentic situations of communication, play, and learning.

Teachers communicate with the children exclusively in their native language, providing a consistent and reassuring environment that fosters vocabulary acquisition, comprehension, and oral expression.

To ensure the highest standards of education, our teaching team benefits from continuous professional development throughout the year, both internally and through our partnership with the AEFE. The school warmly welcomes families from all cultural backgrounds.

La Petite Ecole Bangkok follows the French National Education curriculum, which is structured around 4 core areas of learning:

At La Petite Ecole Bangkok, these five areas of learning are interconnected rather than taught in isolation.

Children learn through

• Play-based and hands-on activities
• Exploration and experimentation
• Interactions across different age groups
• A language-rich environment
• Artistic and sensory experiences
• Outdoor learning and connecting with nature

Our mission is to guide each child toward becoming a confident, curious, creative, and caring learner.

1. 🗣️ Language and communication in all dimensions

Developing communication, vocabulary, listening skills, self-confidence, and storytelling, alongside early literacy skills (reading and writing) in both French and English.

2. 🤝 Physical development, expression, and understanding

Developing motor skills, coordination, balance, cooperation, self-confidence, and body awareness through movement and play.

3. 🎨 Creative arts, expression, and imagination

Encouraging creativity, imagination, music, visual arts, role-play, dance, and emotional expression.

4. 🧠 Early mathematical and logical thinking

Discovering early math concepts, logic, problem-solving, shapes, quantities, patterns, and the scientific method through concrete, hands-on experiences.

5. 🌍 Understanding and exploring the world

Discovering nature, living things, time, space, diverse cultures, and environments, while learning to mindfully interact with the world around us.

Our classrooms are thoughtfully organized into various thematic learning centers that help children develop spatial awareness, explore, experiment, and learn at their own pace.

Each station is designed to foster specific learning goals while encouraging high levels of autonomy and hands-on exploration:

• 🔢 Math & numeracy center: Discovering numbers, quantities, and early logical concepts.

• ✏️ Pre-writing & fine motor skills center: Developing fine motor skills and preparing for early writing movements.

• 🔤 Language & phonics center: Enriching vocabulary, playing with sounds, and developing communication skills.

• 📚 Reading & literacy corner: Awakening a love for books and storytelling.

• 🧱 Construction & blocks center: Imagining, creating, and developing spatial reasoning.

• 🎭 Imaginative & role-play center: Cooking, playing grocery store, doctor, or family to learn through imagination and social interactions.

• 🎨 Visual arts studio: Experimenting with different techniques and expressing creativity.

These spaces are true invitations to learn through hands-on manipulation, observation, experimentation, and cooperation with peers.
