Abelia Eveil is the only school in Beijing that uses the Freinet method of teaching. There your child will experience a trilingual and multicultural teaching environment. A team of teachers from native Chinese, English, and French-speaking countries break away from traditional educational models and practices, they implement an individual teaching program that takes the core domains of child development into account while respecting the pace of their individual development and personality.
Their unique Early Childhood Education Care approach within a multi-lingual educational system is based on children’s interests and fundamental needs. By means of thematic activities and learning through play to inspire the inner self, children experience their first step to autonomy by making their decisions in group discussions, cooperating with their classmates developing self-esteem, confidence, and mutual trust, they take responsibility in different activities and feeling capable through independent exploration. Through the natural method approach, children’s curiosity and desire to explore are stimulated. Making their self-discoveries and observations in autonomy, they explore, answer, create, and express their own ideas, becoming actors and creators in their learning.
