At EBICA we offer students a French-English bilingual education.
The EBICA curriculum encompasses the IPC - International Primary Curriculum / IGCSE - Cambridge, and the French Education Nationale programmes, using dynamic teaching methods along with the best educational tools to support each child in their learning. EBICA has based these learning conditions on a deep knowledge of educational practices, stimuli, and child psychology. Teachers teach in their mother tongue.
Our educational philosophy prepares students for a world in constant evolution, autonomous study and responsible living. We focus on investigative activities, public speaking, the exchange of ideas, and research. Equal importance is given to the development of self-confidence, which we achieve by encouraging students to correct themselves and form their own opinions and decisions.
