School Life @ BEPS - Waterloo

 
BEPS-Waterloo is situated between the communes of Rhode Saint Genèse and Waterloo on the N5.  It shares a campus with World International School (WIS), the secondary department of the school.  While the main building, housing the offices, computer room and music room, is older in style, the main teaching rooms are situated in custom built, spacious, buildings or converted villas.  BEPS-Waterloo shares a spacious modern sports hall with WIS and a well-stocked library.  The campus is self contained and secure, with splendid outdoor areas appropriate to all the ages of the children.

In Pre-school children learn mainly thorough play and manipulation of objects.  Hence, they are given ample time to discover and explore their rich and stimulating environment and to construct their own learning.

Language, listening and communication skills are developed though story reading, rhymes, songs and games.

Children are involved in a variety of colourful art activities, which give them the opportunity to broaden their imagination and to encourage creativity.

In the infant section we focus on a wide variety of activities, which are integrated into all learning tasks that cover the curriculum of literacy, numeracy and the International Primary Curriculum.

As the children develop through each stage, their work becomes more structured, without losing the fun element of learning and sharing.  Children are encouraged to develop at their own pace.

We encourage children to develop an interest in the world around them and to learn and appreciate other cultures.

In the junior section students learn to:

          Work independently

          Become responsible for actions and behaviour and their own
          work

          Realise that they are not spoon-fed

          Be on time, with completed homework

          Listen actively and participate in class discussion.

We want our students to be positive and happy, therefore they will learn.
