ABOUT US

The DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE

Ecole Larousse is situated at the heart of the East Legon Community in a very serene environment, conducive to teaching and learning. Our school is made up of students with diverse and rich cultural backgrounds. At Ecole Larousse, we provide our students with a well-rounded education that equips them for future challenges. Our bilingual system prepares our students to be future leaders in their respective communities and we take pride in their performance. Our motto, “Give them the keys to the future” is our driving force. Not only do we pursue academic excellence, we also place premium value on physical wellbeing and etiquette through our physical education and values and ethics programs. According to a famous saying: “Everyone is torn between two needs, the need for a canoe to travel away from the Self, and the need for a tree to root their identity. Human beings wander constantly between these two needs, sometimes giving in to one and sometimes to the other until they understand that the Canoe is made from the Tree”. In the same vain, our vision is deeply rooted in family, community and quality education. All these embody our daily objectives so that our student builds a solid foundation for growth. We encourage our children to be open minded to desire to explore and heighten their curiosity. This precept inspires our teachers to teach children the importance of building a harmonious community that acknowledges individual differences. Good schools are built through the efforts of good people and I believe our Teachers, Parents and Students are among the best. Please do not hesitate to spend some time on our website. Our doors are always open.

WHAT WE DO FOR YOU

ACTIVITY

From the age of 3, parents can choose from a vast array of pre-school activities including swimming, football, Taekwondo, piano, flute, violin, ballet, English and French Clubs for their children. For more information about our activity times, please contact the front desk staff.

CRECHE AND NURSERY

Our Creche and Nursery department hosts children from 3 months to 6 years. It is expertly manned by experienced teachers and caregivers. Each class is handled by two teachers, one French speaking and one English speaking. At Ecole Larousse, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum promoted by the British Department for Education which outlines developmental and learning stages from birth to Reception. Our teaching methods focus on learning through play and cater to the unique needs of each child. Our programme encompass the child’s general development especially the cognitive, emotional, physical and artistic development.

COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT

Cognitive development skills in children involve the progressive building of learning skills such as attentiveness, memorisation and critical thinking but also language development, and perception. At Ecole Ronsard, we monitor and stimulate this process which happens in your child’s early years of life. Language development, Literacy and Mathematics constitute a great part of our programme. A wide range of fun activities is planned daily around these areas of learning.

SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

With regards to social development, our role is to guide children in understanding and controlling their emotions, as well as becoming independent. It is essential that they learn how to develop good relationships with people around them, (children and adults alike) and build their self-esteem. Once a child feels secure and relates well to his peers, he is able to open up to the world and explore his environment. Our mission is to create a safe and conducive environment for the good emotional development of your child.

BILINGUALISM

Since its establishment, Ecole Larousse has researched on mechanisms of foreign language learning by young children and has designed and improved its own methods. Results obtained year after year clearly demonstrate a level of effectiveness that is the envy of many. These methods, which outline a rigorous progression in terms of vocabulary and structure hinge on three main principles: language immersion, games and success. Immersion helps children to quickly learn new sounds, intonations and rhythms. Because young children learn through games, they are motivated and encouraged to learn naturally and progress rapidly to success. By the end of primary school, all pupils would have attained a level of English and French that enables them work in both languages. At the upper primary, 60% of all lessons are taught in English while 40 % of lessons are taught in French. Each class has two teachers, one for lessons in English and the other for French. This means pupils benefit from two different approaches. The two teachers are in constant cooperation to ensure overall coherence.

“Ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié  lorsque je suis arrivée pour la première fois, c’est le bilinguisme de l’école, dans la mesure où l’élève Anglophone arrive a manipuler aisément la langue française et le francophone la langue anglaise sans aucun pré-requis.”
