Start with the programme
Check entry ages and the learning offered. BSA presents three stages: toddlers aged 18 months–3 years, preschool ages 3–6, and elementary ages 6–12, from CP through CM2.
Understand our approach
Ask how children use materials, choose an activity, and receive help. BSA’s published programme combines Montessori principles, hands-on learning, and teaching in French and English.
Preparing your questions as a parent
Discuss your child’s background, languages, and needs. Ask the team about observing progress, group life, and communication with families.
Organising daily life
Before deciding, check travel, times, meals, fees, and enrolment conditions. Answers should correspond to your programme and intended year.
Preparing your comparison before visiting
Organise notes into four areas: learning, languages, support, and practical life. List your priorities, then distinguish what you observed from what administration still needs to clarify. This helps compare concrete information rather than general impressions.
Building the next step
After visiting, review the programme and admissions process. Check documents, applicable fees, and services useful to your family. Ask the team a focused question if anything is uncertain. Booking a visit lets you discover BSA without committing to enrolment.
