Socialisation, Cooperation et Sharing

In Maternelle, physical activities contribute to the improvement and strengthening of motor, sensory, emotional, intellectual and social development of children. These activities mobilise, stimulate and enrich our student’s imagination.

Sports education in IFS Maternelle aims to develop cooperation, collaboration and establish constructive relationships. We look to foster respect of differences, thus contributing to socialisation at a very early age.

It is during this stage of childhood that basic motor skills are developed, which include fundamental actions such as:

• moving (walking, running, jumping)
• balancing (standing on one foot)
• handling (seizing, pulling, pushing)
• throwing, receiving objects

IFS students also learns to share with his peers during team games, singing and dancing games.

Motor skills, autonomy and respect

In Élémentaire physical education aims to continue to develop motor skills and the practice of physical, sports and artistic activities.

Sports is important at IFS and contributes to health education, enabling children to better understand and know their bodies. Sports in Élémentaire promotes responsibility and autonomy, giving students access to moral and social values, such as respect for rules, respect for oneself and for others.

Several physical activities and sports are worked on each year in order to build strong healthy learners.

Physical and artistic activities, development and solidarity

During Collège students move from pre-adolescence to adolescence and undergo significant physical and psychological developments that change them and affect their social life. Physical and sports education gives them new ways to understand themselves, other people and their environment. AI IFS we encourage and support our students to construct a positive image of themselves and increase their self-confidence. Students learning how to respect others and be part of a team.

In Collège we believe physical education provides access to a rich scope of practices, with strong cultural and social implications, important in developing the personal and collective life of an individual.

Throughout IFS and particularly in College, physical education aims to train intelligible, autonomous, physically and socially educated citizens, with a view to living together in harmony. Sports education enables our Collège students to pursue their well-being and to care for and understand better their health and their lifestyle choices.

Performance, engagement and responsibility

In Lycée, IFS students learn to produce their best performance, adapt their movements to varied environments, express themselves in front of others through artistic or acrobatic activities, lead and manage a match in a team or between two players. Building leadership skills and attitudes for success is central to an IFS education in Lycée. Preparing our students for the challenges they may face ahead.

Through physical, sports and artistic activities, students continue to develop their motor skills, learn how to prepare and to train, build social behaviours and promote their health.

At IFS sports education aims to train fulfilled citizens, able to engage regularly and independently in an active and supportive lifestyle.
