MONTESSORI'S GONES

The school, located at 21 rue André Bonin for the kindergarten and 7 avenue de Birmingham 69004 for the elementary school, is a private, independent, secular and non-contractual school, not affiliated with any political or religious movement.

Ideally located at the exit of the Croix-Rousse tunnel on the Saône side, the school is easily accessible from the^1st and^4th arrondissements, as well as from Vaise and the ^6th.

It is registered with the town hall, the academic director of national education services, the public prosecutor and the prefect. It does not have a contract with the French Ministry of Education, which means that its staff are not paid by the State, and it receives no subsidies.

The 3/6 and 6/12 year-old classes are equipped with a complete range of materials, in perfect condition, from a supplier approved by the Association Montessori International (AMI).

Children are welcomed on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 8:15 and 8:45, and are discharged at 16:30.

Extra-curricular activities are offered from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

I'm both director and educator (ages 3-6 and 6-12) for French-speaking children. An English-speaking educator has joined the school to offer English immersion to the children.

The school's legal status is that of a SARL (limited liability company).
