For the past 10 years, the school has been run by the 3 founders, driven by the growing need for more scientific, effective and respectful practices to support the development of each child within a respectful school community.

«The common trait of all my experiences? The pursuit of an always improving school where we can happily learn the cognitive abilities which lead to an understanding of the world, as well as the cooperation, the conflict management, the work with a team on projects, a school where the child is active, curious, involved, a school that lets the child keep his interest in the world. »

They ensure the use of a common pedagogy and approach by the whole team to enable children, throughout their schooling, to evolve in a coherent, respectful and stimulating environment.
Thanks to the cross-fertilization of different educational backgrounds: Montessori training, teacher training, CAP Early Childhood, nurse-sophrologist, bachelor’s or master’s degrees in education, music, English, etc., the team’s proposals are rich, varied and complementary.
Depending on their age group, children can also benefit from the presence of specialized contributors, for example in art or sport.
Sebastien : Sports Educator
Holder of a BPJEPS APT (Brevet Professionnel de la Jeunesse et de l’Education Populaire et Sportive, Activités Physiques pour Tous)
Activities organizer and sports educator since 2012 in many diverse settings.
I am very happy to share and convey my passion and values for sports with the children at Positive School.
It is a real pleasure to see the children blossom each day in practice and in discovering different sport activities all year long. My experience as a sport activities organizer allows me to create playful and educational sessions within many difference disciplines (team sports, individual sports, combat sports,
dueling sports, racket sports, and new sports etc) so that the children will have gained some knowledge and most importantly a minimum mastery of fundamentals at the end of the year.
