About UsAt La Calypso preschool, the children learn in French, alternating guided learning times and moments with free time during which they learn by themselves playing, handling and experimenting.
Moreover, the school aims at the overall and balanced development of each child. For that purpose, we focus especially on 3 learning trends: arts, close environment and ecology. |
Our History |
La Calypso is part of Cousteau, the French International School of Vancouver. A very unique independent, secular school in British Columbia offering the academic curriculum accredited by the Ministry of Education of France and by the British Columbia Ministry of Education. Cousteau School is part of an international network of 480 schools spread throughout 130 countries. In response to the interests expressed by several families living in Vancouver, Cousteau School decided to open a Preschool in South Granville in 2014 and be closer to these families.
Our Preschool bears the name La Calypso, the ship used by the French explorer and oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, who was greatly involved in conservationism. A source of inspiration as Cousteau is accredited Eco-School by the Foundation for Environmental Education. |
