Curriculum content

Subjects

The subjects taught are:

  • Maths
  • Science
  • History/Geography
  • Modern languages (French and/or English)
  • Optional subjects on request: Art, Music or Sport

Through this method of teaching, the student also develops digital skills, in addition to the academic skills related to the curriculum.

Based on the UK National Curriculum and the French National Curriculum, IIL-Online enables students to acquire common skills.

Daily follow-up

Individualised teaching

Every day, the group coordinator, called “tutor”, supervises the students for a more in-depth follow-up of their schooling. In particular, they discuss the life of the group, their progress, the acquisition of knowledge as well as guidance.

This time of the day also aims to foster values of the school such as tolerance, respect, solidarity, mutual aid, empathy, etc. 

If necessary, the tutor can also organise one-to-one meetings with the student.

Academic Year Organisation

School Calendar

The academic year is organised based on the IIL school terms and breaks. Depending on the geographical area and if the number of students allows, the calendar may be adapted according to local constraints.

The programme also includes two times when your child is present on campus: 

Two days before the beginning of the school year to:

  • meet the teachers and students of the programme
  • acquaint with equipment and applications, assisted by ICT Trainers
  • take part in cohesion activities

Two days at the end of the school year to:

  • take stock of the year
  • take part in cohesion activities

If travel to IIL is not possible, some activities are organised online.

Assessments

Assessments are regularly scheduled by teachers and two report cards are issued per year.

Teaching time

Videoconferencing Tool

Zoom is the application used for all our videoconferencing lessons.

With its simple, modern and ergonomic design, this tool combines online meetings and secure instant messaging. It can be used on a computer as well as on a tablet or a smartphone. 

In addition, Zoom offers a wide range of collaborative features: 

  • screen sharing for presentations
  • file sharing 
  • interactive and collaborative whiteboard to allow brainstorming and structuring ideas from a distance

Participants can also use instant messaging during videoconferences to communicate in parallel with the meeting. In addition, Zoom provides customised backgrounds or virtual sets in which the user’s image is automatically integrated as they move.

Teaching Tools

IT Equipement

An iPad and relevant accessories are provided by IIL at the time of enrolment.

The iPad is set up by the IIL IT Team. All the necessary applications and resources are directly installed on the device.

If you are unable to come to IIL before the beginning of the academic year, the equipment is sent to you and IIL ICT Trainers provides remote training in the equipment and applications.

The role of the legal guardians

You are regularly kept informed of your child’s progress and achievements by the teachers. It is essential that you support your child in their education, in particular by making sure that

  •  they respect their daily schedule

Depending on the age and the level of autonomy of the student, the necessary time of support may vary.
