Opportunities beyond the classroom

Physical wellbeing Extra-curricular activities

Physical wellbeing

We believe that physical education and sport are central to students’ overall wellbeing. Through regular classes and access to high‑quality facilities, such as the Sous‑Moulin sports centre, learners explore a wide range of sports while gaining confidence and the motivation to stay active.

 

With guidance from science teachers and health professionals, our students deepen their understanding of fitness, recovery, nutrition and injury prevention, so that sport becomes an important part of life.  

Extra-curricular activities

A rich programme of extra-curricular activities allows students to explore passions, develop talents and discover new interests beyond the classroom. Organised around languages, arts, sports and activities that foster critical thinking and digital creativity (such as STEAM and chess), workshops take place after school and on Wednesday afternoons in a friendly, stimulating setting.  

 

Led by specialised instructors and supported by the teaching team, they balance fun with structured progression so that each learner can move forward confidently and at a suitable pace. A supervised homework club is available on other evenings and further supports independence, organisation and calm, focused study on site. 

Opportunities beyond the classroom

École Mosaic helped me learn French even though I couldn’t speak it when I first arrived. Being in a bilingual school made learning a new language feel natural, and I always felt supported and included.
