✨ 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.
🍃 What about the start of the 2026 school year?
Many families are currently asking us about the school opening in September 2026. Our aim is clear: to continue the journey and welcome children for the upcoming school year. However, like many young independent organizations, we still need to clear a significant financial hurdle before we can make a firm commitment. We hope to be able to announce a final decision by the end of July.
🌿 A new step for our educational project!
The start of the 2026 school year will also mark the start of an important new stage for our school thanks to our partnership with Ernst Zürcher, a researcher recognized for his work on the rhythms of life and the deep links between human beings and nature.
Inspired by his vision, we will gradually develop workshops, experiences and projects allowing children to explore natural cycles, the forest, the seasons, living time and the interactions that connect all living things.
More than a simple program of activities, this approach will enrich one of the founding convictions of our school: learning to grow in connection with nature, cultivating wonder, developing a sense of observation and rediscovering our place in the heart of life.
A great opportunity to continue to develop our educational project while remaining faithful to the values that have driven us since the opening of the school. 🌳✨
🌱 Pre-enrollment for 2026–2027 is now open
As we actively work towards opening the school for the upcoming academic year, we continue to welcome inquiries and pre-enrollment requests from families interested in our project.
Several families have already placed their trust in us for September 2026, and we thank them warmly.
