— Franco-first pedagogy

A curriculum engineered around how language takes root

Three languages. One structured daily sequence. Documented milestones your child's next school can read on day one.

/ Trilingual scaffolding

French first. Kinyarwanda always. English next.

Instruction begins entirely in French — the language with the widest cognitive load at acquisition age. Kinyarwanda grounds comprehension in familiar sound patterns. English enters in the second year as a third register, never a replacement.

Competency-based discovery learning replaces rote drills. Children solve, sort, and speak their way to each milestone — following Rwanda's 2026 national standards while building the neural pathways no English-first programme can retrofit.

+ Structure by design

Eight hours built around developmental science

8:00 – 9:00 — Arrival and free French conversation. Children narrate their morning in French; educators document spoken vocabulary gains.

9:00 – 10:30 — Structured immersion block. Small-group instruction in French: phonics, counting, and guided discovery with tactile materials.

10:30 – 11:00 — Nutrition break. Hot snack; meal data logged per child for health records.

11:00 – 12:30 — Outdoor discovery and motor development. Structured tasks in French, Kinyarwanda contextualisation where needed.

12:30 – 13:15 — Hot lunch. Nutritional records updated; attendance confirmed via mobile log.

13:15 – 14:15 — Rest cycle. Sensory wind-down and independent quiet activity.

14:15 – 16:15 — Afternoon immersion and social-emotional skills. Paired conversation, role-play, and early literacy in French.

▸ Transition readiness

Documented outcomes. Readable by any primary school.

Linguistic fluency

Primary transition record

Cohort size under 30

Every child exits with a competency profile — French, Kinyarwanda, and English — accepted directly by Ecole du Bon Berger and Nyamata Parents' School.

By end of Nursery, each child holds basic French conversations and follows complex multi-step instructions — milestones logged per term.

Small classes keep educator-to-child ratios high enough to track individual milestones weekly — not just at semester end.
