Our Saturday class is a mini version of our regular Global Explorers programme, designed especially for French-speaking children, as a total immersion in English and a more concentrated focus on language acquisition, still using our arts-based approach and ensuring real-world applications. Some of the students from our Wednesday sessions are also on hand to take leadership and support the language learning of their friends, providing meaningful exchange with native speakers and helping all our children to be the open-minded and collaborative global citizens our world really needs.

Global Explorers is an innovative educational curriculum that seeks to build the leadership and 21st century skills of today’s young people through arts-based, creative education, immersion in nature, and exposure to English language and literature, as well as Chinese, Arabic and Spanish.

Based on the groundbreaking ‘Global Citizens’ curriculum from Harvard professor Fernando Reimers, this programme is an immersive language, culture and nature experience for young people from the ages of 5 – 11 years old. Using participation in the arts, creative learning and the great outdoors, we encourage and develop the language skills, global thinking and competences of young people for the future. Given the threats of artificial intelligence, global conflict and climate change, we believe young people must be given the skills to harness their leadership capabilities and moral imagination to be the force for good that our world really needs.
