Foundations of Learning — structured, hands-on cognitive and academic development.
Lower College focuses on early cognitive and academic development through structured, hands-on learning.
This foundational stage establishes the academic habits, language pathways, and developmental milestones that prepare students for the rigors of Middle College and beyond.
The day opens with the Josun core program. A structured Mathematics session — problems that require thinking out loud and showing reasoning. Literacy follows: reading, writing, discussion. The pace is steady. The expectations are real.
Science occupies the afternoon. Students observe, record, and ask questions. At this age, curiosity is treated as a skill worth developing deliberately. A short physical education block closes the academic day.
Students return to the day's Josun coursework independently — light, but consistent. The habit of returning to material is built early.
The student arrives at a local French primary school. Instruction is in French — no exceptions, no translation. The morning covers the French national curriculum: Mathematics, reading, writing. The student follows along, participates, and is expected to keep up.
The French school day continues with art, physical education, or sciences — all in French. The Josun core program runs in a short dedicated block after the local school day ends.
The student completes a brief Josun assignment and reviews French vocabulary encountered during the day — not from a textbook, but from the day itself.
Upon completion of Lower College, students advance to Middle College, where they expand their academic reasoning and develop fluency in Mandarin Chinese.
