Welcome to the Middle School!

Our role at the Middle School is to help our students navigate this important passage and transition successfully to the Secondary school system. Students are encouraged to become increasingly autonomous with the help of constructive and structured guidance.

Students follow Ecolint's unique Universal Learning Programme, based on deep understanding, competence development and social impact. We also strive to prepare our students to take maximum advantage of the bilingual offer available in Secondary School. We provide our students with strong language teaching in English and French, as well as giving all students the opportunity to study some subject content in both languages.
