Celebrating our amazing families! ✨🥰

Over the past three weeks, our kindergarten was filled with extra love, laughter, and creativity during our annual Parents’ Week! 🎨📚 We loved having so many parents join us in the classrooms for special workshops. Thank you for making these moments so memorable for the children!

Our parents didn’t just come to observe, they jumped right into the action! They actively participated by introducing wonderful artistic activities, engaging in classroom learning, and joining in on the games. This incredible involvement not only strengthened our school community but also allowed us to share deeply precious moments together.

To wrap up this beautiful period, between Parents’ Day, Mother’s and Father’s Day celebrations, our little ones created one special, combined gift to celebrate the wonderful team that you are. 🎁

A Huge Thank You to Our Kindergarten Families! ❤️

The End of an Era: Terminales Celebrations at IFS! (Part 1/2) 🎓

What an unforgettable week of celebration, emotion, and community! Our Terminales officially marked the end of their high school chapter, and because one day wasn’t enough to celebrate their journey, we spread the magic over two incredible days. 🎉

The festivities came together with a day full of laughter, nostalgia, and a lot of water! Dressed in white IFS t-shirts, our graduates turned themselves into living yearbooks. Armed with markers, they spent the day writing heartwarming dedications on each other’s shirts. ✍️❤️

The students cooled off in the most fun way possible, sliding into the next chapter of their lives with pure joy and endless smiles. 💦☀️

Our students especially cherished sharing these final moments with their teachers, who turned out to give them the warmest send-offs, sharing laughs and wishing them absolutely the best for their bright futures ahead. 🌟

Stay tuned for Part 2 to see how the celebration started with costumes, music, and an emotional farewell! ✨

Creative Hands & Happy Moms! 🎨

Our CM2 students turned into true artists for Mother’s Day! Over three special art sessions, they discovered the beautiful traditional technique of linocut (linogravure). 🖼️

We were incredibly lucky to welcome Mrs. Marie Cognacq-Messager, a French teacher, local artist, and a mother of one of our students, to lead this 3-part workshop.

From learning the history of linocut to carefully carving their own personal designs, the children poured their hearts into every single detail. During their final session on May 18th, they chose their colors, printed their designs, and beautifully framed their artwork to create the ultimate handmade gift. 🎁

We had to keep these photos secret until May 31st to protect the surprise, but we can finally share them with you! Swipe through to see the amazing process and the dedication of our young artists. A huge thank you to Mrs. Marie Cognacq-Messager for sharing her passion and time with us! ❤️

🤝 Cross-Year Collaboration in Action!

Our Year 12 German students (Terminale) stepped into the shoes of teachers! As part of their history curriculum, Ms. Günther’s class visited the CM2 students to introduce them to the complexities of WWII.

🧠 The workshop kicked off with a deep dive into historical concepts. Our older students challenged the Year 5s to think about the term “generalization”—a perfect way to lead into the fascinating story of Georg Elser.

✨ This exchange is a win-win:
For Year 5: A peer-led introduction to a major historical topic.
For Year 12: A golden opportunity to practice simplifying complex ideas in preparation for their Grand Oral.

A huge thank you to Mrs. Erin-Agot, Mr. Cailton, and Ms. Günther for making this inspiring bridge between primary and secondary school possible! 👏🎓

How much of our lives are we missing while looking down at our screens? 📱✨

At IFS, we believe that raising responsible digital citizens requires a thoughtful, step-by-step approach. Over the past weeks, our community came together for four powerful events dedicated to navigating the digital world safely and harmoniously.

Here is a look back at our journey:
🤝 Digital Harmony Workshop: From “Tug-of-War” to “Teamwork” We kicked off this series with an inspiring workshop led by the 2C Counselling team. Parents and teens came together to bridge the gap, exploring why social media matters, how to manage digital risks, and how to lead with curiosity instead of judgment.

🛡️ Digital Safety & Health Conference: A Roadmap for Parents Next, we dived into the practical side of well-being. Expert Gazbiah Sans shared crucial insights on cyber safety and bullying prevention, while the team from EssilorLuxottica provided vital advice on how screens impact children’s vision and sleep.

🎬 “Looking Up” Screening: Reflecting on our Habits Parents, collège and lycée students gathered for a screening of @gillesvernet_auteur acclaimed documentary, “Et si on levait les yeux ?”. Following a class during a 10-day digital detox, the film sparked inspiring cross-generational conversations about reclaiming our time and attention.

☕ Café Parents: Perspectives on Parent-Teen Relationships To wrap up this series, three of our talented Seconde students hosted a bilingual Parents’ Café. They provided invaluable perspectives on how the modern digital landscape shapes adolescent well-being, touching on family communication, self-image, social media, stress management, and the pursuit of autonomy.

A sincere thank you to our expert speakers, our inspiring Year 11 students, the IFS Parents’ Commission, our dedicated organizers, and the entire community for their high engagement throughout these events.
