We moved to France 2 years ago and were worried about our daughter adapting to a new environment. The school was extremely thoughtful about how to ease her — it was a seamless transition. The school stays true to Montessori disciplines and has enabled our daughter to grow up as a confident, autonomous, and curious individual. We are so thankful to all the teachers for creating a nurturing and caring environment.

Our 4-year-old son is in his second year at Être et Découvrir and he loves it. The school is situated on the grounds of a beautiful château in a lovely village. As a fully anglophone family we were a little worried that a bilingual environment might allow our son to get by speaking English without learning and becoming comfortable speaking French. After his first year in this bilingual Montessori environment, he is not only comfortable and confident in his language skills, but we've noticed him proactively seeking out opportunities to speak French outside of school. It's a very diverse group of children who all seem to get along quite well. The teachers are caring and responsive, and the community of parents has been a huge positive that we weren't expecting. We plan to enrol our youngest son in the toddler program when he turns two without hesitation.

The Montessori school is what we wanted for our daughter. It’s the second year for her and I remember last year, after a few months at this school she started to help more, to share with others and she was more confident. The educators are wonderful and full of energy, they encourage children to explore, to develop their independence and to express their feelings. Not least, the school garden is wonderful for children to play and explore. I highly recommend this school

My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at Être & Découvrir. The Montessori philosophy is ingrained in every aspect of the school and the teachers have helped her ease into the school extremely quickly. I highly recommend this international, bilingual school, where your child will be able to grow and develop to his/her full potential.

The Montessori (bilingual EN/FR) school is fantastic! The teachers are great, welcoming and passionate about their work. The school is situated in lovely green sourrandings, with huge garden and view to Chateau! The school is specious and nicely equipped with Montessori material. Our daughter loves it, and will be defenetly sending there our second child :)
We are an expat family, and we feel very welcomed at this school. There are many events organised (ex. United Nation day, St Patric day etc) to celebrate together. Also a chance to meet up/socialise with other parents. The director of the school is super friendly and is a great leader, kids love her. Its a private school, so you need to pay a monthly fee, but its worth it! I do recommend this school!

The school and staff are amazing. The school has been a great support to help our bilingual daughter gain confidence and blossom in France in her learning and her ability to read and write despite her dyslexia.
They really know how to see the potential of children and help them grow in their learning and within. They are honest and truthful and want the best for the child.

I have a great experience at Etre et Decouvrir from 2015t to 2020. The school is situated in an amazing location.. Please take a time to visit the school. My daughter Sophia started in the ambiance( 3-6 years)followed by my little one Aya in 2017. They both had an amazing time for three academic years. Teachers are very strong and have an excellent experience with kids. it s very easy to have a small chat with teachers in the morning or after school. Kids will learn to read , to count, to speak good English and good French . They will learn to garden, to bake, to clean and interact in different situation . Kids will learn to love nature and to smile to live.
