Our programme
At Primary level, the programme is delivered over four days. The fifth day is reserved for individual work and for a special time of personal interaction between your child and the teacher. For 2022-2023 academic year, the distance learning programme is accessible for pupils aged 7 to 13.
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:

If travel to IIL is not possible, some activities are organised online.
Assessments are regularly scheduled by teachers and two report cards are issued per year.
Lessons are taught in French or English. In the bilingual path, languages alternate every day (one day in English, one day in French).

The first teaching time consists of alternating online lessons with a teacher and individual work in synchronous mode. The subjects taught during this time are:
The second teaching time is dedicated to projects which aim to develop knowledge in the different subjects of the curriculum (science, art, music, history and geography) as well as 21st century skills including problem solving, creativity, critical thinking, metacognition, risk taking, communication, collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Slots also remain available, depending on the time difference, to set up additional lessons (sports, arts, languages…) at your request.
Fridays are dedicated to one-to-one interaction between the teacher and the student, supplemented by independent work.
