OTR International School – Bilingual Preschool English/French (PYP)
Welcome to the stimulating and nurturing world of OTR International School’s bilingual preschool classes, where young children grow, explore, and learn in two languages while thriving in an international educational environment.
A bilingual program rooted in the PYP
Our preschool classes (ages 3 to 5) are part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP), a pedagogical approach that fosters children’s natural curiosity through transdisciplinary learning and authentic experiences.
Bilingualism is at the heart of our approach:
French and English are used daily, in a balanced way, to allow children to:
- Gradually develop proficiency in both languages.
- Strengthen critical thinking through multiple cultural perspectives.
- Gain a global outlook, essential in an international environment.
A child-centered approach
Each day is structured around playful, sensory, and creative activities, carefully aligned with the six main PYP themes:
- Who we are
- Where we are in place and time
- How we express ourselves
- How the world works
- How we organize ourselves
- Sharing the planet
The teachers, all trained in the PYP and native speakers of their teaching language, work closely together to ensure pedagogical consistency and natural language immersion.
An environment that fosters growth
Our preschool classes offer:
- Bright, safe spaces designed for autonomy and discovery.
- A caring approach to emotions, self-respect, and respect for others.
- A strong connection with families through regular communication and participatory events.
