;

Les objectifs d’une activité extra-scolaire sont de favoriser l’épanouissement de l’enfant et son autonomie hors du temps scolaire avec pour priorité le plaisir.

Extracurricular activities are aimed at:

  • At the Thao Dien site, for kindergarten children (ages 3 to 6)
  • At the Binh Thanh site, for kindergarten children (ages 3 to 6) and elementary school children (ages 6 to 11)
  • To children enrolled in other schools.

The activities are adapted to the age of the children. They are animated by professionals, childminders or enthusiasts.

They are not considered club activities.

Each day the children have a choice between a sporting, artistic, language learning or study activity (only for elementary classes).

Activities are offered in French, English or Vietnamese.

An extracurricular activity should be enjoyable for the child. Out of the question pushing a child towards an activity that does not appeal to them.

Similarly, competition is only beneficial if it is desired by the child himself! Therefore, we do not demand results from him as we would from him. what he would do for the school: we support him, we encourage him, we accompany him, our role ends there.

Parents will need to encourage their children, support them, be present in the beginning to motivate them, and over time, they will be able to see the progress made by their children.

Each child’s profile will find the activity that suits them best; there is no one activity that is better than another, it all depends on the child’s desires and character , but all have significant benefits.

      In the general operation of extracurricular activities, communication via the speakers is done in French, English and Vietnamese. The dominant language remains French.

      Language learning:

      We offer modern language courses for children who wish to learn to speak a new language or who want to improve their skills:

      • Advanced English

      These courses are accessible from the youngest kindergarten level, to beginners and advanced students.

      • French as a foreign language.

      An activity designed for non-native French-speaking children who wish to discover the basics of French, acquire new vocabulary and improve until they become fully bilingual and follow a French curriculum.

      In each lesson, the instructor offers fun activities, according to the child’s level, using different media (books, videos, songs, drawings, theatre, etc.) allowing the child to express themselves naturally in that language.

      Depending on each person’s level, the facilitator creates working/game groups in order to adapt the activities.

      • Who are these activities aimed at?

      These activities are aimed at all children enrolled in Boules et Billes schools as well as children attending other schools, from preschool (3 years old) to CM2 (11 years old).

      • Are these the same activities for all children, regardless of their level?

      Some activities are reserved for kindergarten students, such as Vovinam, climbing or KinderMusik for example, others are for elementary school students, such as Karting, tennis, etc. Activities such as swimming, advanced English or drawing are open to all but we organize several sessions per level. All this information is detailed on the activity description sheet.

      • Can my child participate in activities occasionally?

      Registration is by term, however it is possible to register your child for one or more activities on an ad hoc basis, subject to availability.

      • Is there a maximum number of participants for each activity?

      Activities are limited to a maximum of 12 children.

      • Is it possible to change jobs?

      Registration is done on a term basis; however, it is possible to change activities if the current one is not suitable for your child, subject to availability in the new activity.

      • Is the price the same for all activities?

      We charge an additional fee for certain activities that incur costs (field rental, equipment, etc.).

      Activities with additional charges include Tennis, Golf, Judo, Chess, STEM, etc.

      • What do you do if it rains and we can’t do the activity?

      We have a protocol in case of rain or heavy pollution: in this case, the activities planned outside are replaced by other activities.

      • Do some activities require annual registration?

      No, registrations are done by term; at the beginning of each term you can either continue the activity or change it.

      • Do certain activities require specific attire?

      Indeed, all sporting activities require appropriate clothing, such as sportswear, sneakers, etc.

      For swimming, your child will need to bring their swimsuit.

      • In case of an accident, is my child covered by the school’s insurance?
