Today
Some of the students who took part in GRAINES D'ESPOIR shot a short film in French, “Echec et Mat”, as part of a national competition.
The school is always extremely motivated to develop what it calls educational innovation, as can be seen from the wealth of events and projects that mark out the school year. You will find them on the school blog through their website.
Let us cite as examples the weekly shared reading sessions with the families of children in CP and CE1, the " group of the century", the school's pop/rock music group open to parents, teachers and students, or sexuality workshops for college students in a climate of trust and communication that allows them to build themselves while feeling free and serene.
The school will celebrate its 50th anniversary. 50 years of explorations, reflections and educational discoveries which will be compiled in a collective book.
