THE ARTS

IMGP3589Art plays an important role in the life of Ecole Jean-Jacques Rousseau students. From the exploratory fingerpainting of preschool to the elementary art projects “A la manière de”, to the serious art classes in middle school, the fine arts weave their way dynamically through the life of the school.

Our Arts curricula follow the guidelines set out by the French Ministry of Education. Through the arts, students develop their social civic skills while strengthening their sense of initiative and independence.
