Imane Arhbal and Joël Dogné — Heads of École du Bonheur
Shared Vision

« A child thrives when they feel safe, guided with clarity and challenged with ambition. »

At École du Bonheur, we share a common belief: a child thrives when they feel safe, guided with clarity and challenged with ambition.

We stand for a structured, demanding and consistent school, where expectations are clear and standards are upheld.

But we equally stand for a deeply humane school, where we know the children, where we work as a team and where the relationship with families is a genuine partnership.

Our mission is to support every student, from their first day in kindergarten to the end of primary school, with consistency, kindness, high standards and trust.

A word from the Head of School

Kindergarten Section

"Kindergarten is the foundation of everything. This is where it all begins."

At École maternelle libre du Bonheur, we do not simply “mind” children: we help them grow. We work intensively on language, independence, motor skills, attention, emotional management and respect for rules. The days are structured, the goals are precise, and the expectations are age-appropriate yet real.

We believe in an ambitious kindergarten, where children learn to speak correctly, to listen, to wait their turn, to finish a task. Every child is encouraged, supported and watched with care. We know their strengths, their vulnerabilities and we support them with consistency.

Our team is committed, trained and aligned. We work closely with parents, because a solid foundation is built together. An ambitious and caring kindergarten lastingly changes a child’s trajectory. That is the responsibility we carry every day.

A word from the Head of School

Primary Section

"Primary school is the time for intellectual development."

At École du Bonheur, we develop a structured, progressive and ambitious pedagogy. The fundamentals are worked on rigorously: reading with precision, writing correctly, reasoning logically, expressing oneself clearly.

We expect students to commit, to persevere, to learn to think for themselves. The standards are high, but always supported. We explain, we guide, we correct, we encourage.

Our goal is to develop solid, independent and confident students, ready to approach the next stage of their journey with method and assurance.
