🍃 What about the 2026 school year?
Excellent news! 🎉
Mon École dans les Collines will officially open its doors in September 2026!
After several months of hard work, commitment, and incredible support, we are delighted to confirm that this wonderful adventure will continue.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the families, volunteers, donors, partners, and everyone who believed in our project. Thanks to this remarkable wave of solidarity, our school continues to grow.
The 2026 school year promises many exciting new developments, including a renewed teaching team, daily immersion in both French and English, nature-based learning activities, and the same personalised approach that respects each child's individual pace and needs.
✨ Enrolment is now open!
We currently have 4 places available for children from Kindergarten through Grade 5.
We look forward to welcoming families who wish to join this wonderful educational and human adventure.
✨ Changes to the teaching team?
Our head teacher, Mylène Philippon, retired at the end of this first school year. We extend our heartfelt thanks to her for her dedication to the school's inception.
We are also pleased to announce that we have found her successor:
✔️ Fully bilingual in French and English
✔️ Experienced in leadership roles
✔️ Trained in inclusive education
✔️ Specialized in supporting children with special needs
Her arrival represents a fantastic opportunity to consolidate and develop our educational project.
🌿 A new milestone for our project!
The start of the 2026 school year will also mark the beginning of a significant new phase for our school, thanks to our partnership with Ernst Zürcher—a researcher renowned for his work on the rhythms of life and the profound connections between humans and nature.
Inspired by his vision, we will gradually develop workshops, experiments, and projects that allow children to explore natural cycles, the forest, the seasons, the rhythms of living things, and the interconnections linking all forms of life.
More than just a program of activities, this approach will enrich one of our school’s founding convictions: learning to grow in connection with nature, cultivating a sense of wonder, honing observational skills, and rediscovering our place within the natural world.
It is a wonderful opportunity to continue evolving our educational project while remaining true to the values that have guided us since the school first opened. 🌳✨
🌱 Pre-enrollment for 2026–2027 is now open
