A school where French, English and French Sign Language are experienced every day
At EMIT, trilingualism is neither an option nor simply language learning. French, English, and French Sign Language (LSF) are an integral part of school life, in the classroom and in everyday routines.
Children grow in a lively, structured, immersive environment where languages are present in conversations, rituals, activities, and every situation throughout the day.
Each language is carried by a clearly identified adult, who communicates in their reference language. This consistency helps the child build clear points of reference, make connections naturally, and develop a more fluent relationship with languages.
One adult, one language
Each language is carried by a clearly identified adult, which helps the child build clear points of reference and a natural relationship with languages.
IN EVERY CLASSROOM
An organisation designed around the three languages
The school’s trilingualism is based on a clear, consistent educational organisation. In every classroom, children are supported by three complementary adults, each carrying one language in daily life.
This organisation allows children to grow in a stable, clear, natural environment, where French, English, and LSF are associated with specific people, situations, and concrete moments of classroom life.

TEACHING MATERIALS
An environment designed in French and English, open to LSF
All of the school’s teaching materials are designed in French and English.
The teaching team has also been researching and creating materials for learning L.S.F. since 2010. This approach reflects a long-term commitment and a genuine desire to make L.S.F. a fully fledged component of the educational project.
L.S.F. is therefore not a minor detail in the EMIT environment. It is part of the very core of the school’s value proposition.
Since 2010
The team researches, adapts, and creates materials to bring LSF into everyday learning.
Listening
The child develops a finer awareness of words, gestures, expressions, and intentions.
Communication
They learn to express themselves and understand others in several ways, depending on the situation.
Curiosity
Languages fuel their desire to discover, question, and understand what surrounds them.
Openness
They grow up with a richer view of languages, cultures, and diversity.
FOR THE CHILD
Growing up with several languages, every day
Growing in a daily trilingual environment allows the child to develop a more flexible, lively, and natural relationship with languages.
This framework nurtures their listening skills, curiosity, openness, and ability to communicate with others in different ways. EMIT’s trilingualism is not only linguistic: it fully shapes how the child grows, understands, and connects with others.
OPENNESS TO THE WORLD
Trilingualism rooted in a true culture of openness
EMIT’s project is not based solely on the coexistence of three languages. It is part of a multicultural, international, and profoundly human environment, where diversity is experienced as a strength.
This openness is reflected in the make-up of the team, in school life, in relationships with families, and in the way children learn to live with others.
Trilingualism then becomes more than a pedagogical feature: it becomes a way of growing up in a culture of openness.
