THE PRE-PRIMARY PROGRAM
Agnes school welcomes children from the age of 20 months as of 1 September.
At this age, the school offers many activities (psychomotricity, musical awakening, group work, graphomotricity, logic games, etc.) aimed at fostering learning in 4 areas: personal, social and emotional development, communication and language, logical thinking and physical development.
From the 1st year in pre-primary, the children benefit from a fully bilingual French-English or French-Dutch daily education.

At the end of primary school, most pupils take at least two examinations from among the CEB (French-speaking education), the Cambridge certificate and the inter-diocesan examinations (Flemish community).
The success rate for the school’s pupils in these exams is usually 100%.
