Jeannine Manuel's Intuitions

The first fundamental stages of learning were Jeannine Manuel’s primary focus. Her methods followed that of the scientific method and included:

• Studying children closely and making careful and precise observations;
• Following intuitions based on research and making hypotheses;
• Designing efficient experiments and evaluating their results;
• Being always prepared to change for the better

Research in the field of cognitive science has proved Jeannine Manuel’s intuitions to be quite accurate - our school owes her its visionary approach.

Jeannine Manuel was equally an excellent mentor to many of her teachers, to whom she often repeated her fundamental principles, which have remained a driving force for our school since 1954:

• Have big ambitions, children can get very far;
• Learning must be fun and captivating;
• Children must be conscious of what they have learned; this will give them the confidence and motivation to learn even more;
• Be positive, encouraging, and take an interest in each individual child and their needs.
