Introduction

La Découverte School at Campus Mies offers a private bilingual French–English education for children aged 3 to 12. The Mies campus uses a project-based, socio-constructivist approach, organizing learning around questions and problems that span disciplines. Weekly class councils and a monthly Grand Council Meeting involve students in decision-making, while philosophy sessions nurture critical thinking, listening, and debate. Outdoor learning happens daily, in parks or forests, in all weather, to foster resilience and environmental understanding. An open-space environment supports autonomous workshops and cross-age collaboration, and theatre activities develop oral expression and stage presence. The school provides after-school care and on-site meals guided by a healthy, sustainable menu charter. With a history dating to the early 1990s, La Découverte emphasizes active inquiry and a personalised, family learning environment. Extracurriculars include Capoeira, Art, Robotics, and Football, plus holiday camps and arts-based after-school options. These elements join to support curious, confident learners daily worldwide.
