FOR WHICH FAMILIES?

A school designed for families seeking much more than bilingual education

Binational or international families

An environment open to multiple cultures, where children grow up in a welcoming setting that respects their journey and identity.

A family-oriented school where each child is known, supported, and encouraged in their learning, autonomy, and confidence.

Our school

From preschool to elementary, a journey experienced every day

EMI Les Rayons de Soleil welcomes children aged 3 to 11 in a continuous journey from preschool to elementary. Each stage supports the child’s development in a French-English bilingual, family-oriented environment attentive to their pace.

Two classes to support the first years of school: autonomy, language, concentration, socialization, and progressive immersion in French and English.

A bilingual elementary program to deepen learning, develop critical thinking, encourage curiosity, and prepare for the next stages.

Large spaces, a private outdoor area, a motor skills room, activities, outings, and daily moments punctuate the children's lives in a vibrant and globally-minded setting.

An attentive and committed team

An educational team close to the children, combining pedagogical rigor, kindness, and regular follow-up.

Personalized support

Each child is observed, guided, and encouraged according to their pace, needs, and way of learning.

Dialogue with parents is part of school life, to move forward together for well-being and learning.

TRUST

A school on a human scale where every child is known and supported

At EMI Les Rayons de Soleil, families find the balance between the openness of an international bilingual school and the individual attention of a small-scale structure.

Each child benefits from personalized support, designed to help them progress in their learning, develop their confidence, and evolve naturally in a French-English bilingual environment.

PEDAGOGY & BILINGUALISM

A bilingual, rigorous, and vibrant pedagogy

EMI Les Rayons de Soleil is inspired by the principles of Montessori pedagogy while integrating the essential learning of the National Education system. Children evolve in an environment that fosters autonomy, curiosity, and learning through experience.

Our educational team brings together professionals with complementary backgrounds, several of whom are trained in Montessori pedagogy according to AMI standards, ensuring a thoughtful and adapted daily implementation of these principles.
French-English bilingualism is naturally integrated through progressive immersion led by a French and English-speaking team.

This pedagogy helps the child develop autonomy, concentration, curiosity, and the pleasure of learning in a structured, stable, and deeply globally-minded setting.

SCHOOL LIFE

A vibrant, active school open to the world

Life at EMI Les Rayons de Soleil goes far beyond classroom time alone.

The school offers a vibrant and nourishing setting, where movement, nature, creativity, and discovery enrich the children’s daily lives. At EMI Les Rayons de Soleil, spaces and activities are an integral part of the educational project.

Children evolve in generous, bright spaces adapted to their needs, fostering concentration, autonomy, and daily well-being.

Space to learn

The independent loft of over 1,000 m², the 600 m² of outdoor space, the indoor motor skills room, and the play area are key features of the school.

Space to explore

Space to explore because children also learn through movement, exploration, and play; EMI Les Rayons de Soleil offers them a rare setting in Maisons-Laffitte: forest outings, outdoor activities, physical awareness, sports, and an active relationship with the environment give learning a more concrete and vibrant dimension.
