Focusing on the Child’s Potential
Every child possesses immense potential and a unique personality. At Pierre Corneille School, every effort is made to foster each child’s growth in a positive and welcoming environment. Teachers build a “person-to-person” relationship with the child, free from judgment. They encourage progress and help children develop their self-confidence.
The team focuses on the infinite potential of the child—their ability to imagine, learn new things, gain awareness, progress, and grow.
Progress is celebrated and rewarded, while mistakes are corrected and explained. When a child sees that adults trust and empower them, they, in turn, trust the adults guiding their learning and progress confidently. The more fulfilled a child feels, the greater their self-confidence, and the more easily they can acquire knowledge and learn effortlessly.
This dynamic, which fosters self-confidence, is the key to a fulfilling school life.
Our Values
Pierre Corneille School is dedicated to its educational mission while staying true to its vision and values:
Respect:
The respect we aim to nurture within our school involves self-respect, respect for others, and respect for the environment. This fundamental value shapes the communication between children and adults, fostering a sense of security. It helps children understand boundaries and feel comfortable and confident, enabling their growth. For adults, it becomes easier to understand expectations and respond appropriately.
Motivation:
Motivation is essential in sparking students’ interest in learning throughout their academic journey.
Responsibility:
Our focus is on fostering the development of thoughtful students who consider the consequences of their actions and act with reflection and care.
Profile of the Graduating Student
Together, we prepare children to become future citizens who are balanced, fulfilled, and confident, as well as curious and equipped with a critical mind. They will be humble and generous, with a true sense of self-esteem, proud of their own culture while embracing others in their diversity. This foundation will enable them to thrive and contribute meaningfully in a constantly evolving world.
Our Objectives
The success we aim for is a combination of factors that promote the development of each student’s personal, academic, and social skills:
Creativity:
Learning through fulfillment is one of our primary concerns. Every child is creative—this is our fundamental and unwavering belief.
Autonomy:
Seeking out information, using it appropriately, and applying it both in their notebooks and in life—these are the methodological learning mechanisms we develop starting in Senior Preschool. Learning how to learn is learning how to live.
Challenge:
Creating an atmosphere of positive curiosity and passion helps children discover their potential and talents. Encouraging and fostering a sense of wonder by presenting children with a problem to solve is essential to any learning endeavor. Being amazed, asking questions, and seeking answers are qualities we actively nurture in our students.
