Located in fully renovated former stables, the school benefits from an exceptional setting with three beautiful spacious rooms, designed by an architect, a garden, part of which has been converted into a vegetable garden.

CUBE SCHOOL Boulogne-Billancourt welcomes children from 6 to 12 years old in mixed-age classes – grades 6-9 and 9-12.
The teaching approach focuses on differentiated instruction and specialized teaching, taking into account the specific needs of each student profile. We welcome children with dyslexia, ADHD with or without hyperactivity, who lack academic motivation, intellectual precocity, hypersensitivity, or a lack of self-confidence.
We strive to combine academic excellence and development by offering customized programs in a positive, creative, and studious school environment.
We respect and adhere to the French National Education curriculum, maintaining high standards across all subject areas. Each child has a personalized project for each period of the year. Their work priorities are clearly defined and explained to them by their designated teacher. Classes are flexible and geared toward children’s well-being and optimal concentration. Each child benefits from individual attention and caring, stimulating coaching from all teachers.
COMBINING HIGH STANDARDS AND FULFILLMENT
Developing each child’s full academic potential.
Helping children understand their difficulties, put them into perspective, and overcome them.
Strengthening attention, listening, and memory skills through dedicated activities.

Working in small groups: ages 6-9 and 9-12, allowing for highly individualized monitoring and instruction. Active, effective, and motivating teaching methods:
LEARNING BY DOING
