A word from the Head
“We built this school for our own children first.”
Every parent deserves a primary school they can trust. One where children read fluently in English, speak French confidently, are known by name, and are taught by people who chose to be here. That is the school we have built, and the school we are still building.

Nursery to Year 6
A clear path from age three to eleven.
Nursery and Reception follow the EYFS framework. Years 1 to 6 follow an international primary curriculum that covers Malagasy national content alongside international standards. Each year group has a clear purpose. Children are taught what they need when they need it, and re-taught until they have it.

What sets us apart
We write our own storybooks.
Madagascar has almost no English storybooks of its own. So we wrote our own. The King's Readers is a graded series of fourteen books, set on the island, matched to phonics phases, and used across the school from Reception to Year 6.
