Preparing for Middle School: Helping Lennen Families Navigate the Next Step
The transition from elementary to middle school represents an important stage for students and their families.
School life lies at the heart of the Lennen Bilingual School experience. Beyond academics, it brings the school community to life—shaping each day, creating meaningful connections between children and families, and nurturing a strong sense of belonging within a warm, engaged, and truly bilingual community.
The school day runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Parents bring their children directly to the classroom each morning.
Toddlers may attend either a full day or morning-only, depending on family preference. Nursery students usually follow a full-day schedule, with a gentle adjustment period at the start of the year.
Lunch routines are adapted to each age group, with a choice of hot lunch or packed lunch. Younger children also have rest or nap time during the day.
The school opens at 8:30 a.m., with classes starting at 8:45 a.m. The day ends at 4:00 p.m. Families drop off and pick up students at the school entrance.
Students eat in the cafeteria and may choose between a hot lunch prepared by French chefs or a packed lunch from home.
Children have recess once or twice per day, and all classes enjoy a weekly Library session to support a love of reading.
A variety of after-school activities is available on campus, supervised by our trusted partners, including ALCNY, Play-Well, Noir & Blanc, La Petite Académie, and Hihilulu.
At Lennen Bilingual School, children, parents, and the educational team form a close-knit, caring, and inclusive community. A shared culture rooted in learning, mutual support, and openness to the world brings everyone together. Inherited from the American educational tradition since 1960, this spirit extends far beyond the classroom, creating lasting relationships and a strong sense of belonging among families.
Joining Lennen Bilingual School means becoming part of a community where we grow together, learn from one another, and where every family, child, and educator contributes to keeping the Lennen spirit alive—every day.
The school lunch service plays an essential role in students’ well-being. Mealtimes are thoughtfully designed as moments to pause, share, and connect, within a calm and age-appropriate setting that supports both comfort and social interaction.
Beyond the classroom, learning at Lennen Bilingual School comes alive through hands-on, immersive experiences. Nature trips, cultural outings to museums, music and theatre classes, pony camp, and swimming enrich students’ educational journey. These meaningful experiences—central to Lennen’s pedagogical approach—nurture curiosity, build confidence, strengthen a sense of community, and encourage openness to the world, while giving learning real purpose and context.
