- Français – Deutsch
- Français – English
- Français – Italiano
- Français – Nederlands
Located in a warm and friendly house, the preschool offers a playful, multi-sensory approach adapted to each child. Each class is composed of a maximum of 12 children.
The classes are places of linguistic, artistic, culinary and musical immersion.
The educational approach favors bilingual development, inner motivation, familiarization with a multicultural world and motor, psychomotor, intellectual and social development.
Finally, the teachers each teach in their mother tongue and the linguistic immersion is therefore total.
THE PRIMARY CURRICULUM
The Tutti Frutti bilingual primary school offers two sections :
- Français – Deutsch
- Français – English
In September 2023, the primary school will welcome children from P1 to P5.
Each primary class has a maximum of 12 pupils in order to personalise the teaching and better meet the needs of each pupil.
The school offers an active, open, differentiated and multidisciplinary pedagogy based on explicit and implicit learning.
Immersion is ensured through exposure to two or three languages from the first year.
Curiosity, enthusiasm, creativity and contact with nature are encouraged.
The children are registered with the Fédération Wallonie Bruxelles and are tested in P1, P3, P5 and for the CEB at the end of the six primary years.
Tutti Frutti children can then join Belgian or international education.
The school also promotes inclusion and welcomes children with special needs.
Extracurricular – Frutti School
Numerous extracurricular language activities with a wide range of languages are offered (Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch). The aim of these activities is to familiarise children with another language on a regular basis and to provide them with a cultural perspective that allows them to learn a language in a fun and creative way. Each group has a maximum of 12 children.
The extracurricular learning is done in immersion through activities such as games, cooking, crafts, painting or dancing.
The trainers teach their mother tongue or the language in which they were educated from an early age.
Small groups of the same age group are favoured according to the interests of each child. The size of the groups varies according to the extracurricular formula chosen.
