Admissions open · September 2027
A bilingual private school on the heights of Algiers, from pre-school to the Bac: the national programme, demanding languages, and the attention every child is owed.
Few places left in P1, P4 and M1
Our promise
A school on a human scale on the heights of Algiers: the national programme, taught with high standards, in classes where there is time to mark every exercise book.
The journey
Fourteen years under the same palm. Each stage has its own teaching, and one team hands over from one cycle to the next.
Ages 4 – 5 · Nursery – Reception
Learning through play, and wanting to come in the morning.
Rotating twenty-minute workshops: language, handwriting, numbers, movement. Two adults in every class, and a skills booklet shared with parents each term instead of a mark.
What else happens there
Ages 6 – 10 · P1 – P2 – P3 – P4 – P5
Reading, writing, counting — soundly, in two alphabets.
The national programme in Arabic, with French reinforced from P1. Daily reading in small ability groups, and a digital home-school book parents read every evening.
What else happens there
Ages 11 – 14 · M1 – M2 – M3 – M4
Four years to learn to work on your own.
A teacher per subject and a form tutor who follows each pupil. Science in the lab from M1, an hour of study skills a week, and BEM preparation that starts in M3, not in May.
What else happens there
Ages 15 – 17 · L1 – L2
A common core, then the stream that fits you.
In L1, a common core in science and technology or in humanities. Streaming is prepared with each family in the second term, then L2 opens one of the five streams Nakhla teaches. Technical mathematics, which needs workshops, is not offered.
The six national streams
Ages 17 – 18 · L3
The year everything comes together, and nobody does it alone.
Three mock Bacs a year, marked as the exam is. Revision sessions in groups of twelve on Tuesday afternoons, and individual tracking of averages that alerts the form tutor before the class council.
What else happens there
A typical day
From the first bus to the evening clubs, follow an ordinary Sunday, hour by hour.
Right now in Algiers
06:55 — Day breaks on the heights
06:55
Even before the first bell, the school is already on the move.
07:10
The first of three minibuses arrives at 7:10, the last at 7:40. A supervisor meets every child at the gate, and parents get a notification when their child arrives.
08:00
On Sundays the whole school lines up in the courtyard around the palm for Kassaman. On other days each class goes straight up, in line, with its teacher.
08:30
Twenty-four pupils at most, and time to mark every exercise book. Mornings are kept for Arabic, French and maths, when attention is at its best.
10:15
Fifteen minutes of running round the palm, watched by two supervisors. The pre-school children have their own yard, in the shade of the arcades.
12:00
A hot meal cooked on site, with the week’s menu published on Thursday. The youngest eat first, and a dietitian approves every menu.
13:30
Afternoons move from books to hands: science in the lab in half-groups, computing and technology. Chemistry is learnt by doing it.
15:00
Basketball, handball and athletics on the school court, gymnastics in the sports hall. Two hours a week for every class, plus the Thursday teams.
16:30
Robotics, chess, drama, music: the day ends with what you chose. After-school care keeps those collected later, until 6 pm.
The campus
Nine places around a courtyard and its palm. Tap a building to step inside.
The classrooms, the labs, the library, the cantine, the infirmary: every place has its photo and what you need to know.

What a child chooses after 4:30 matters as much as what they learn before it.
