The Elementary School
6-12 years old

Before the age of 6, the child builds everything that constitutes his personality. It is important now that they develop as a member of society.

Excellence and fulfillment continue in elementary school.

The educational program for children ages 6 to 12 is part of a much larger picture, and of course takes into account the developmental characteristics of this age group. The goal of cosmic education is to accompany the child in his or her development and to help him or her become a responsible citizen aware of his or her cosmic mission. Awareness of one's humility encourages responsible action and motivates one to do one's part in the global order. Intellectual work is nourished by emotional and physical qualities. The classroom is not a closed space, but a part of the child's life.

At La Chrysalide, our role is to allow children to perceive their place - both modest and yet so powerful - in this balanced whole. Not by appealing to their intellect, data or knowledge, but by making them feel, in their heart and soul, that they are both insignificant and terribly precious, so that they are filled with a sense of humility, respect, love and caring.

In a 6-12 year old environment, the material and approach respond to the intellectual and psychic needs of the child, to his need to understand the world around him and to be part of it.
