Kindergarten Teacher

**Company Description**

The Garden Academy is an innovative English immersion school for children located in Paris, with schools in the 15th, 7th, and 5th. We offer a bilingual preschool/kindergarten for children aged 2 to 5 and a fully immersive English after-school program for children aged 3 to 10. Through both of these programs, we encourage children to be active participants in their learning journey, using experimentation, play, and intrinsic motivation to encourage children to use English through a range of disciplines, including arts, music, STEM, and more. Our native and first-language English-speaking education team specializes in positive education, creating a space where children gain resilience and a love of learning in harmony with their personal development and environment.

**Our school program**:
The teaching team welcomes students using a unique pedagogical approach inspired by the methods of Maria Montessori (autonomous workshops), Freinet (experimental trial and error, individualized learning), Reggio Emilia (cooperative pedagogy, project pedagogy) and the American STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach. The combined aim is to constantly adapt to the needs of the child while also respecting their individuality.
