Roaming Schoolhouse is one big, nice & friendly family

Posted on 11 January 2022

Elliott B. joined us for his 3eme stage in December. During the week he got to meet with the different RSH staff to learn what they do, observe classes, and also help out in classes and camp. See following what Elliott had to say about this time with RSH so far....

My journey with Roaming Schoolhouse

My first RSH memory is from my second year, after I joined when I was 5. I remember sitting on my teacher's chair whenever she got up and, of course, I wouldn't get up again (kids, don't do what I did!). That was Gillian's first year with RSH.

What is being bilingual like for you?

Posted on 14 September 2021

September 18: Listen to Derek talk to bilingual children about their thoughts and feelings on the subject.

Does your child hate feeling different, and being asked to "perform" in their French class? Or are they anxious about what language to use? Or maybe it doesn't bother them at all?

WHEN: Saturday, September 18, 10h - 11h

WHERE: online - see below for registration details.

Are you excited for the first day of classes?

Posted on 6 September 2021

We certainly are! Here are some key details to keep in mind as we head to our first classes of the year:

1) First day of RSH classes: classes start the week of September 13

2) What to bring to class: a pencil case (pencils, colors, scissors, glue, eraser). CE kids and up should also bring a notebook. We will provdie the appropriate workbook for each class.

The future of education

Posted on 12 May 2021

A fascinating insight from the World Economic Forum. I can't speak to other education systems but in France, we do seem to be so focused on reproducing knowledge, not in knowing how to use that knowledge.
