International Primary Programme
Ermitage's International Primary Programme (IPP) provides innovative education for students aged 8 to 11, serving as an ideal gateway to our IB Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP). Located at our Maisons-Laffitte campus, this programme embodies academic excellence in a truly international environment. Within our intimate class settings, every child receives the attention they deserve, allowing them to flourish and grow. Beyond the academic programme, our broad, enriching extracurricular activities complement our educational approach.
Where curiosity meets community
At Ermitage, we create a nurturing environment where children learn naturally through exploration, play, and discovery. Our caring teachers guide each child to develop their full potential while having fun along the way.
Lighting the Fire of Curiosity
Our approach ignites curiosity and fosters deep understanding through hands-on exploration and discovery. Your child will learn through engaging activities and exciting projects that spark their natural curiosity.
From science experiments and mathematical games to creative arts and outdoor exploration, every experience is designed to foster a love for learning and a deeper connection with the world around them.
Growing Together
Children thrive when they feel confident and supported. In our small classes, they engage in dynamic group projects, share ideas, and learn from one another while making friends from around the world. This collaborative environment fosters their confidence in speaking and presenting, ensuring every child's voice is valued and celebrated for its unique contributions to our community.
Here, we not only prepare children for future success but also ensure they enjoy every step of their learning journey.
Exploring languages
Within the International Primary Programme, children from diverse linguistic backgrounds thrive together in an English-speaking environment designed to support both native and non-native speakers. They also have the opportunity to learn French at all levels, from beginner to bilingual.
At Ermitage, language learning is engaging and natural. Through a variety of activities such as games, songs, stories, and daily interactions, children build confidence in both English and French while enjoying the process of acquiring new languages.
