The International Section at Sequoia Nova delivers a self-directed, English‑medium education aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), giving every child a solid grounding in reading, writing, mathematics, critical thinking and personal expression.

In Lower Primary (ages 6 – 8), learners follow the same rigorous yet caring framework as in the French track: Project‑Based Learning (PBL), step‑by‑step competency progression, bespoke work plans and mastery‑based assessment. This structure invites children to think independently, work collaboratively and anchor new knowledge in real‑world contexts.

Upper Primary (ages 8 – 11) embraces an innovative blended model. Core theory is introduced through our secure online platform, while practical application, project work, workshop time and one‑to‑one guidance take place face‑to‑face. The arrangement fosters autonomy, nurtures responsibility and builds long‑term transferable skills.

Learning extends well beyond the classroom. Daily physical education, outdoor play, movement workshops and regular contact with nature enhance overall well‑being, coordination, concentration and self‑confidence.

Finally, groups are organised by developmental stage rather than strict age, creating a flexible, individualised and genuinely human environment in which each learner advances at a comfortable pace, supported by a climate of trust and cooperation.
