Presentation

Life School Riviera is an innovative and progressive private school. It was born out of the desire to reveal each child's potential, talents and identity by offering quality teaching, tailor-made, adapted to the child's rhythm and learning profile. The heart of our school is to teach and transmit essential values, appreciation of others and sense of excellence. The school opened at the beginning of the school year 2021, in a green setting in Saint-Légier. Registration for 2023/2024 is open from 1P to 11P Harmos. It's always possible to join our classes during the year.

Vision

A well-taught child ensures his future and that of society. We want a school where students are comfortable expressing themselves with who they are while feeling listened to and who can build their own identity and become responsible, respectful citizens as adults. We also want a school where teachers are valued and rewarded for their investment.

Mission

Our Mission together is to prepare each child to become a confident, fulfilled, responsible and respectful citizen. We want to equip them to become leaders and bring solutions to the society of tomorrow.

Philosophy

Through teaching to the French-speaking Swiss study plan yet integrating Christian values that bring life and hope, we wish for our students to develop a sound set of values to face their futures. Although we do not teach theological biblical classes we are committed to showing Christian values on a daily basis through the school structure and attitudes of respect, sharing, benevolence and valuing each other. We aim to encourage children to do good to those around them and take care of each other and the environment. These values allow each child to make their own choices about their life and their future.

Values

The foundations of the school are based on the following Christian values: listening, sharing, respect, empathy, forgiveness, perseverance.

To promote and develop: self-esteem and confidence, solidarity, team work, responsibility and respect for oneself and others.

The sense of excellence We lead everyone to give the best of themselves in whatever he/she undertakes without criticism or comparison.

The culture of respect Every child, teacher and staff member shows mutual respect towards each other, valuing their importance, reputation and their family and culture.

Freedom of opinions and convictions Indoctrination or proselytism are not part of our values. Each child can think, give his point of view, pose questions, have their own beliefs and express thoughts freely, all under the umbrella of respect.

We want to put into practice these values, adopted also by our Swiss constitution, so that each child can find their identity and become a responsible and respectful citizen.

Each student, teacher and worker must sign a charter of values and behavior that they will have to respect and put into practice within the school.

Benefits for parents

	Give sense to learning
	Teachers will allow students to build their knowledge by relying on real life experiences to make learning relevant so that students will be able to identify with these skills and then reinvest them in their daily lives.

	School curriculum using the Romand Study Plan
	The PER will serve as a basis and guide. Time and results should not be stressful for teachers, children or parents. Our teachers will be encouraged to take time with their students, to consider the personal goals of each child and not to focus on the goals to be achieved for the whole class. We want to place the child at the centre of their learning and not the pedagogy.

	Individual study to be completed during class hours
	The time at home should be devoted to games, sport, relaxation, culture or the study of other subjects according to the interest of each child (music, languages, animals, cooking, visit of cultural places, etc.). The only homework will be to prepare presentations, revise vocabulary or to read books recommended to them or suggested by the student in agreement with the teachers.

	Get moving to heighten learning!
	We recognise that children all learn in different ways. When children are allowed to move during class time, in order to further explore a topic, learning comes alive for both students and teachers.

	Modular design concept
	No more desks lined up or students motionless on chairs for hours. The flexible class is a modular design concept where children are free to learn using different media and sit where they are most comfortable which stimulates collaboration, attention and learning skills.
