Pedagogy

The quality of our teaching at Open World International School is made possible thanks to rigour, dynamism, and positive, differentiated pedagogy. Our students follow an international curriculum which meets the requirements of the French State education guidelines and of the international Cambridge programme, and as such prepares them to sit international exams.

Small class sizes allow for the individual monitoring of each student.

We believe in a common-sense approach to education where trust, respect, communication, and effort are our safeguards. We believe in enticing students to try rather than forcing them to do so. We believe in celebrating their successes and not highlighting their failings and shortcomings. We believe in considering each individual student’s affinities, strengths, and difficulties in order to create a bond of trust between student and teacher. A teacher’s role is to guide and assist their students. They should facilitate co-operation and a sense of team spirit in their classroom while providing a positive and stimulating learning environment. We strive to strike a balance between benevolence and high standards through our teaching methods.
