We teach an international primary curriculum in English, drawing on the best of British and other international primary practice. It is aligned to Malagasy national content where required, so that our pupils are prepared for both Malagasy national exams and international qualifications when they leave us at the end of Year 6.
Reading comes first. Fluent first, then deep. Writing is built sentence by sentence. Speaking and listening are taken seriously too.
Taught for mastery: every child secure on every topic before moving on. Mental and written methods practised daily.
Biology, chemistry, and physics taught in their own right, with proper vocabulary, real experiments, and the local environment as a laboratory.
History, geography, and RE. A planned story of the world, with Madagascar at its centre.
English is the medium of instruction. French is taught daily. Malagasy is celebrated.
A broad and balanced foundation in music, art, sport, and digital skills. Practised, not just appreciated.

English is the medium of instruction across the curriculum. French is taught daily from Nursery, building to full conversational and written fluency by Year 6. Malagasy is celebrated as a home and cultural language, used in worship, song, and storytelling.
