Welcome to the Kingsworth International School, Primary Section. Our school is a unique and welcoming community that offers an innovative bilingual curriculum for students from over 40 countries. Kingsworth cultivates a unique learning environment that challenges students to explore and engage with the world around them. Pupils develop and build literacy skills in conjunction with STEAM learning in a vibrant international setting. This multifaceted focus teaches children that we are all interconnected, and that each building block of learning supports multiple others, creating a firm and steady foundation for our future.  

At Kingsworth we use an inquiry-based approach to learning, encouraging students to ask questions and to engage with the process of finding answers as they strengthen their framework of knowledge and understanding of the world around them. We are proud to introduce a text-based curriculum into our primary school, an initiative that brings books and literacy to the forefront of learning. This program aims to reduce pupils’ dependence on screens, in the classroom and at home, as they simultaneously boost critical thinking skills through reading, question-asking, and discussion across the curriculum in English and French.

Kingsworth has a dedicated leadership team of highly trained, international teachers who greet new and returning students each year with enthusiasm. We are proud of our small school. While we grow and make improvements every year, our commitment to the nurturing of curious young minds remains constant.

BILINGUAL STRUCTURE

Children spend half of the day in the English classroom and half of the day in their designated French classroom. This immersive approach allows children to absorb both languages while following the British National and French National Curriculum.

Painting and art are a foundational part of the curriculum. They are integrated into each unit as a way of making each lesson interactive.
Research suggests that if a child is to become truly bilingual, then full immersion in both languages is the best possible route. We introduce reading and writing in both languages simultaneously from a very early age.
Small class sizes mean that there are lots of opportunities everyday for children to have one-on-one lessons with teachers. This boy is learning how to count at Kingsworth International School in Paris France.
