EMI • Les Rayons de Soleil

International Montessori School

Located in the heart of Maisons-Laffitte, just an 8-minute walk from the station, the International Montessori School Les Rayons de Soleil welcomes children into an accessible, calm, and secure environment, conducive to their well-being and development.

Housed in an independent loft of over 1,000 m², the school offers bright spaces carefully designed for the comfort of children. It features a private outdoor area as well as an indoor motor skills room, allowing students to move, play, and thrive throughout the day, regardless of the weather.

The school offers integrated daily bilingualism, led by a French and English-speaking educational team, fostering a natural and progressive immersion in both languages.

A member of the Association Montessori de France, the school is committed to a faithful and rigorous practice of Montessori pedagogy, based on its essential principles: mixed age groups, the presence of AMI-certified educators, complete pedagogical materials, and long, uninterrupted work periods that promote concentration, autonomy, and the joy of learning.
