Our Learning Philosophy
It is our belief that every child possesses a natural curiosity and intrinsic motivation which drives their engagement in learning activities.
We believe that all students are capable of learning and succeeding in their academic lives if provided challenging, engaging and authentic learning tools and experiences.
Each individual brings unique and preferred ways of learning, testing their current understandings, and acquiring new knowledge. Through inquiry, students flourish as critical thinkers that trust their own ideas, take risks and feel proud of their progress.
Cottage Academy Lille is a positive environment where learning is exciting, accessible and of precedence.
Our Teaching Approach
Thematic units of learning that appeal to the students interest are taught over a period of weeks. We create meaningful, real-world contexts for standards-based teaching and learning.
Each unit includes activities, tasks, and assessments that are specifically tailored to the students point of learning in phonics, spelling, grammar, reading and writing.

Each week's learning is complemented with an online classroom, enabling the student to revisit concepts, vocabulary and activities multiple times between lessons.

Students language and skills are assessed upon application, mid-year and final year in a stress-free manner to ensure true results of the students true capabilities.
