Elementary education
The mastery of the French language and the first elements of mathematics are the priority objectives of elementary school to allow students to access the fundamental tools of knowledge.
From CP , students discover the learning of a living language (foreign or regional). In cycle 2, the program provides lessons for questioning the world, artistic lessons (plastic arts and musical education), physical and sports education and moral and civic education.
The “common base of knowledge, skills and culture” constitutes all the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes necessary for successful education, life as an individual and as a future citizen. From primary school to the end of compulsory education, students gradually acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to master this common base.

The actions are also part of a process of co-education with parents and the implementation of educational alliances.

He must be able to evaluate the students in order to adapt his teaching according to the results obtained. He works as a team and cooperates with parents and school partners.
