Nurturing children who are happy, sociable, curious, self-confident and open to the world
Citlali is an international nursery and primary school. It is independent and secular, and is not affiliated to any political or religious movement.
To help children enjoy learning more and be happy to go to school, in partnership with their families.
From the very start, we give children the tools to manage their emotions rather than deny them. This lets them make the best use of their intellectual abilities and meet the challenges of today's world.
In time, pupils will be able to make sense of the world around them.
A private school outside the state contract, faithful to the French curriculum
The French academic curriculum is enriched by daily language immersion and teaching in social and emotional skills.
French curriculum
Children follow the French academic curriculum, from the first year of nursery to the end of primary, in small groups.
Language immersion
Genuine daily language immersion in French and English, with an introduction to Spanish, woven into classroom life.
Social and emotional skills
A subject in its own right, inspired by alternative approaches to education grounded in neuroscience.
In close contact with nature
Arriving at Citlali each day means rediscovering a world of possibilities, in an atmosphere of joy and enthusiasm for discovery: outdoor experiences, classroom workshops, projects and experiments.
What is Citlali?
“Citlali” is a Mexican given name that comes from Nahuatl and means “star”. For us, stars represent the joy, the dreams and the hope that lie sleeping within our children.
This project reflects our values and the values we wish to pass on to the youngest, in a place that encourages everyone’s self-expression and personal growth, both individually and together.
