A school that nourishes, inspires and builds happiness.

The project in detail:
Les jeunes poussent autrement is a private elementary school located in Vicq (78) which wants to be independent and open in terms of pedagogy. It will therefore offer a multi-pedagogical education, bilingual English / French with a limited number of students to be as close as possible to the children. The school will include creative projects, focused on the environment and respect for living things.

It is a school resolutely turned towards nature. Here, we take the time to observe, listen, smell, touch, taste: discover simple pleasures through projects that have meaning, that are useful. The school of life is here!

Eco-responsibility:

The school aims to educate children about the environment from an early age by limiting the production of waste so that they become the eco-citizens of tomorrow.
In practice, this is to encourage daily actions of eco-citizenship.

Co-education:

A school resolutely turned towards parents to create a relationship of trust, a relationship of quality.
Positive exchanges create a favorable climate for children to learn and multiply progress. Intergenerational ties are rich. Parents, grandparents but also local stakeholders are therefore invited to the classroom to participate and lead / supervise workshops, share readings, life experiences, meals and take part in school events. Highlights that mark the minds of children, families and teachers.

Benevolence and respect:

Caring education allows everyone, child, family and professional to live harmonious relationships in a form of mutual respect.
The school will provide a safe environment by wearing a loving, understanding and non-judgmental gaze. To learn and thrive, children need benchmarks, to feel listened to, considered and respected.

Creators:
Nathalie Clement
Today, I am enriched in all the experiences which make my profession a passion, a vocation. It is in this context that I want to make all this wealth available to children and their parents by creating this school, to transmit my values, my experience and my enthusiasm. This school will be multi-pedagogical to adapt to everyone, it will be eco-responsible to train the citizens of tomorrow, and will be open to parents to support them in their parenthood. "I dream of a school of life with happy children!"
