The "Bilingual Montessori School de l'Oise" is a bilingual kindergarten and middle school. The curriculum in the Nursery and Reception section is Montessori based.

Though it is structured, the children are at liberty to choose their own activities according to their own interests and they work through the exercises according to their levels of development.

The Montessori approach aims to allow children to grow naturally, to retain their individuality and develop their own unique personality.

Maria Montessori’s educational principles are bases around the three central ideas outlined below:
- Universal characteristics of chilhood
- The prepared environment
- Special qualities of the teachers

Pre-School Program; Primary School Program. The Pre-School follows the Montessori Curriculum, the Primary School teaches objectives of the English and French National curriculums. We are a bilingual school with English and French. English is the main language of instruction.
