Our Pre-prep department pays the utmost attention to very young children. Our teachers provide the basic foundation required for them to start on their journey of academic success, while taking care to be respectful of each child’s personality. This positive learning environment greatly facilitates early learning.

The classrooms are large and bright, allowing the teachers to pay individual attention to each child. The warm, friendly environment nurtures the confidence of small children, thus providing a solid beginning to their education.

During the five-year primary programme, the children will acquire and develop a solid knowledge of both languages. This will contribute considerably to their overall development.

At the end of Year 6, they will have the ability to function in the two languages with significant ease and the drama classes will help develop their self-confidence as well as the acquisition, and development of their interpersonal skills. Since there will be children of many nationalities in the school, they will become more open to other cultures and, therefore, become more tolerant.

We offer a wide variety of sports which ensures that all students are able to take part or compete in this important area of school life regardless of their talents or skills.

We value sport not only for the health and fitness benefits it provides but also for the values it instils: discipline, independence, determination, camaraderie and teamwork.

Students are encouraged to participate at all levels and they can be confident of receiving excellent coaching and an opportunity to represent EIFA in matches against other schools.

Subject to demand, EIFA offers a wide range of optional extra-curricular activities in the afternoon, from 3.30pm to 5.00pm. The activities are offered to all students registered in the School.

At the beginning of every term, parents will have the option to enrol their children in the homework club and/or an after-school club. The “clubs” activities include various sports, foreign languages, visual arts, STEAM, coding, drama, private music tuition or simply the homework club. These clubs are offered in either English or French. It is another great opportunity for your child to practise either language outside the classroom setting.

We hope that you will like our range of after-school activities.

Apart from being a place where parents can drop off their children and are supervised, the After-school care offers a range of activities that will stimulate the children’s reasoning skills, gross and fine motor skills and bonding skills.

Children will be in an educative environment that is familiar to them. They will take part in structured or non-structured activities of their choice (such as games, crafts, reading, cinema, etc.), all supervised and guided by a member of the teaching staff.

A Homework Club is offered to prep and secondary students only. Teachers will help the students with their studies and homework.

Afternoon: From 3.30pm to 5.00pm session.

Fees are payable in advance via Parentpay (https://www.parentpay.com) at the beginning of each term (September – December – March). Fees for clubs are non-refundable. Full fee is charged, whether or not a student attended all sessions.

A student may be admitted to the Homework Club when the fee is paid in full. In exceptional cases, a student can attend a Homework Club if the parent notifies the Head of School in advance. Fees are payable in advance via Parentpay (https://www.parentpay.com)

Different weekly After-school clubs are offered in small groups of students. Activities range from art, drama, to sport and music. Members of the teaching staff, educators or professional coaches will operate the After-school clubs. Details of clubs on offer will be provided at the beginning of each term.

In addition to its primary function of welcoming and supervising children in the absence of  parents, the wraparound care offers a variety of activities aimed at fostering the cognitive, psychomotor, and emotional development of children. Children find themselves in an educational environment in complete safety. Supervised and guided by the educational team, they can freely participate in structured or unstructured activities (games, crafts, library, cinema, etc.). The wraparound care is available to all school children every afternoon of the week after school.

Hours: from 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm

The wraparound care is payable per trimester (September – December – March) in advance and is non-refundable, even if the child does not attend. Any session started is due. Payment must be made exclusively through the Parentpay payment site (https://www.parentpay.com). In case of non-payment, the child will not be accepted at the wraparound care.
