ICS Côte d'Azur has participated in the Globeducate Visual Arts Competition for the last three years, and many of our classes are looking forward to submitting entries once again for 2022.

Our teachers are the beating heart of our school, which is why we place a high value on the quality of learning delivered by our talented and experienced team. We recently sat down with Laurence Trucchi, a PY3 & PY4 teacher, who has been at ICS Côte d’Azur for over 7 years.

The PYP exhibition is an event where students are given the opportunity to share their understanding of a real-life issue or topic they've researched. This student-led project serves as the culmination of the IB Primary Years Programme for PY6, and is also a great way to help pupils reflect on their learning whilst developing their presentation and assessment skills.

In 2020, ICS Côte d’Azur was one of several Globeducate schools to participate in a pilot project bringing LEGO® education into the classroom and integrating it into the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) curriculum with SPIKE™ Prime and WeDo 2.0 Robotic kits.

We asked Janet Goswell, our PYP Coordinator for her insights into what it means to be an IB World School, and how we implement the IB Primary Years Programme.
