Primary program

Primary program

The primary program at École Internationale des Apprenants is designed to provide students with a rigorous and enriching education, in compliance with the Régime pédagogique de l’éducation préscolaire, de l’enseignement primaire et de l’enseignement secondaire du Québec. We place particular emphasis on academic rigor, autonomy and critical thinking, while preparing our students to become active, responsible and respectful citizens.

We are committed to respecting the triple national mission of Quebec schools: to educate, socialize and qualify. This mission guides our entire pedagogical approach, and every subject is taught with rigor and professionalism, ensuring that our students master fundamental knowledge while developing essential social and personal skills.

Our primary program focuses on several key areas:

  • Acquiring fundamental knowledge: We ensure that every student masters the basics of all subjects taught, in particular French, science, mathematics and history. Students are encouraged to develop a deep and lasting understanding of concepts, while tackling current issues through a variety of projects and experiences.
  • Social and emotional skills: In addition to academic knowledge, our students are encouraged to develop strong social skills, such as empathy, cooperation, respect for differences and the ability to resolve conflicts peacefully. We firmly believe that education is not just about knowledge, but also about interpersonal skills and the ability to interact harmoniously with others.
  • Encouraging creativity and innovation: We believe in the importance of an education that stimulates creativity, critical thinking and innovation. We offer our students opportunities to explore new ideas, ask questions and find solutions, while developing their autonomy in managing their learning.
  • Preparing for the future: Thanks to a differentiated teaching approach, we meet the individual needs of each student, enabling them to progress at their own pace while preparing them effectively for the challenges of secondary school and professional life. Every subject is taught with the utmost academic rigor, to qualify students in the areas essential to their future success.

International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme
All our preschool and primary students are enrolled in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). This enriching and stimulating program focuses on the child’s overall development, placing him or her at the center of the educational intervention.

By integrating the IB program with the Quebec curriculum, we offer a high-quality education, preparing our students to become critical, creative and responsible thinkers, capable of meeting the challenges of the modern world.
