The Early Years Foundation Stage is the starting point of your young person’s time at Le Fort’s. It sits on the main school campus in a dedicated space and surrounding play area. From here our youngest students can enjoy many features of the main school, including specialist teachers, active participation in the school life and community events.

We accept children of 4 years of age for their pre-school year during which time we lay the building blocks for Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Arts and Wellbeing.

The curriculum is patterned after Early Years Foundations Stage (EYFS) framework of English National Curriculum and in many cases goes much further. We have enriched our syllabus with corresponding standards and themes of US, Canadian and Russian school curricular.

Our curriculum is a comprehensive framework that sets very high standards for learning, development and care for children and serves as a bridge to the primary school curriculum.

The syllabi cover following main principles, namely:

  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development
  • Communication, Language and Literacy
  • Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy
  • Knowledge and Understanding of the World
  • Physical Development
  • Social and Emotional Development
  • Creative Development
  • ICT

This foundation programme is age-appropriate and includes English language development, mathematics and quantitative reasoning, creative expression, scientific exploration, music and creative movement, fitness and cooking class. The classroom is arranged into Learning Centres. The materials provided are open-ended so that each and every child can gain a sense of success each and every time.

Children are exposed to whole group work, mini-groups and individual instructions every day. The syllabus is designed to meet individual needs and interests so that every child can work to its full potential.
