About us
My First Academy
My First Academy is a private bilingual school officially recognized by the French Ministry of National Education.
Approval numbers: UAI 9711301M (nursery and primary) and UAI 9711316D (secondary).
Located in Dampierre, Le Gosier, our 800 m² campus is fully equipped to welcome children from nursery to secondary school.
At My First Academy, we’ve created a warm, colorful, and thoughtfully designed learning environment that fosters well-being, focus, and academic success.
Small class sizes
Our 35 m² classrooms are fully air-conditioned, offering a comfortable learning environment that supports academic success.
Class sizes are kept small to ensure each student receives personalized attention.
Kindergarten
20 students per class
Primary
18 students per class
College
12 students per class
We maintain small class sizes to ensure high-quality teaching and personalized support for every student.
Occasionally, one or two additional students may join a class — for example, when repeating a year or moving up a level — but our priority remains to provide a balanced and stimulating learning environment.
Our qualified teachers come from around the world, bringing a wealth of experience to the classroom.
This multicultural team of dedicated professionals has strong teaching backgrounds both in the Caribbean and internationally.
Modern facilities designed to support student success
The library area
A calm and inspiring space where students can cultivate a love of reading and expand their knowledge.
With a wide selection of books in both French and English, the library encourages independence and sparks intellectual curiosity.
The theatre
A space dedicated to artistic expression, where students explore acting, public speaking, and self-confidence.
Through workshops and performances, they develop their creativity and learn to express themselves confidently in front of an audience.
Multimedia area
Equipped with modern digital tools, this space introduces students to new technologies while promoting interactive learning and the development of essential skills in computing and digital research.
Cafeteria
A welcoming space where students enjoy balanced, varied meals together.
The cafeteria is also a great place to socialize and learn the importance of healthy eating habits.
The garden
A space for relaxation and exploration, where children can play freely, observe nature, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.
This safe and open environment encourages motor development, creativity, and well-being, while offering opportunities to connect and share moments together in nature.
The tennis court
A dedicated sports space designed to develop coordination, focus, and team spirit.
Students engage in age-appropriate activities that support both their physical and mental well-being.
A unique range of services
The school is open year-round, Monday to Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except during the Christmas and August holidays.
On Wednesdays and during school breaks, closing time is at 5:30 p.m.
We offer a range of services designed to make life easier for parents and more enjoyable for children.
Our team ensures responsive communication, 7 days a week, all year long.
School supplies
No need to purchase anything — we take care of it all!
A single payment is made to the school in March/April, and your child will receive all the necessary school supplies at the start of the school year.
Breakfast
Breakfast is served every morning from 7:30 a.m. to 7:50 a.m.
A hungry child cannot concentrate properly — starting the day with a good breakfast helps set the tone for successful learning.
Snacks
Snacks during recess are provided by the school. This helps prevent conflicts between children and reduces health risks, especially related to allergies.
In the morning, students enjoy a fresh bread sandwich; in the afternoon, they’re offered cake or fruit.
Homework
Homework is completed at school. We believe that a child who spends 8 to 10 hours in class has already had a productive day.
There’s no need to add extra pressure in the evening when their brain is already saturated — your child should go home to relax and enjoy their free time.
In secondary school, however, regular homework is assigned. Depending on their schedule, students may complete it either at school or at home.
A qualified and multicultural teaching team
Our qualified teachers come from all over the world and deliver a high-quality curriculum to our students.
As a multicultural team, they bring solid teaching experience from both the Caribbean and international schools, creating a rich and diverse learning environment.
