This week, a (pretend) camping experience offered PK3 students a rich backdrop to learn about nocturnal animals and engage in meaningful, play-based learning — all without leaving the safety of their classroom. For children that age, imagining an adventure beyond the classroom and venturing into a make-believe natural world transforms lessons into tangible, sensory experiences.
What do you do when there is no easy answer? When an issue is too complex to be settled by a simple debate, with winners on one side and losers on the other? This is the challenge at the heart of cartographie des controverses (the mapping of controversies), a pedagogical approach that our students have been exploring this year through a compelling real-world topic: the exploitation of the Arctic.
From sprints to obstacle courses, students at both ASH and SAU campuses came together this May for a week of athletic challenges, teamwork, and fun.
The Lycée is hosting two Arts Nights this month to celebrate student creativity across music, visual arts, and technology and design. The MS Arts Night takes place on May 20 (5:00–7:15 pm) and the HS Arts Night on May 27 (5:30–6:30 pm). Both evenings feature live performances and exhibitions, and all families and community members are warmly welcome.
Renowned Francophone author and illustrator Nathalie Dieterlé visited our campuses, leading creative workshops with our maternelle and Gr1 students inspired by her beloved Zékéyé series and her childhood in Cameroon.
