Our teaching method is based on the CAP SUR, a method used all over the world in many schools... and Alliances Françaises! CAP SUR is a dynamic French method with lots of creative activities and linguistic tools tailored for kids between 7 and 10 years old, known to have proved its worth with children for whom French is a foreign language! Throughout the pages, students discover the adventures of the Cousteau family as they travel around the world.
