MISSION & OBJECTIVES

The Petite House of Learning is a language school with a nuance. It aims to adopt a human, open, forward-thinking and original approach to teaching and learning. It operates through immersion with lots of practice in context of the knowledge acquired, communication made of interactions and questions and the integration of skills for life.

 

 The Petite House of Learning’s recipe incorporates the following key ingredients:

  • Conviviality: we believe that learning in a caring, supportive and homely atmosphere helps human beings absorb and digest the knowledge with less efforts.

  • Interest: we aim to make activities as interesting and relevant as possible for everyone.

  • Motion in immersion: we know by experience that quicker progress can be made by using and practising, as much as possible, the target language in real life situations.

 

When you join our classes or activities, we will be considering your goals and own pace of learning, as it’s important for us to make sure that you feel motivated and encouraged in your learning process. We are here to help you in every step of the way, providing you with a personalized attention and enriching educational experience.

 

We hope that walking in the Petite House Of learning will be like entering a bright land of adventure and learning. And when you leave, you can take the house with you wherever you go.

 

Welcome and happy reading!
