Testimonials

They grew up at Eridan.

Excerpts from testimonials by former pupils, published by the school, with their first name and years at Eridan. Translations are marked.

The bilingual programme helped me make great progress in English, especially speaking, and become more confident. […] The atmosphere is friendly and the teachers are always there to help and encourage us.

Ambre, at Eridan since 6e (translated from French)

My level of English has improved considerably thanks to the lessons and the teachers' support. I have gained confidence in speaking as well as in writing.

Camil, at Eridan since 2023 (translated from French)

All that time, I felt really good at the school and I could learn at my own pace. The teachers always encouraged me and helped me progress when I needed it.

Yasser, at Eridan since CE1 (translated from French)

When I arrived at Eridan, I couldn't speak English at all. […] As there aren't many of us in the middle school, when you are new you fit in very quickly, and for shy people like me, that really helps!

Enyalé, from CM2 to 3e (2016-2021) (translated from French)

The time I was here I liked that all the teachers were really nice and always helped me when I didn't understand something. Even though my French is not good, everybody did their best to help me understand it.

Isabella, joined in 3e in 2021

I really liked being at Eridan: when I arrived I couldn't speak French and I wasn't fluent in English, but after being there I could speak both languages perfectly. […] The pupils included me very quickly and I made lots of friends.

Elián, in CM1 and CM2 (2013-2015) (translated from Spanish)

What struck me at Eridan is […] the family feel, because it is a school where everyone knows each other, from pre-schoolers to middle schoolers. We also know all the teachers, and the teachers know every pupil in the school.

Florian, from CE2 to 6e (2006-2010) (translated from French)

[…] it was with you that I learned [English and Spanish] intensively, but above all in a fun way. The many lessons in a foreign language and the immersion trips also count for a lot, because that's where you learn to pronounce!

Sébastien, from Petite Section to CM2 (2001-2008) (translated from French)

I remember learning a lot from the cultural mix in the classes. […] I use my English every day, whether for instructions, for music or even at work.

Laetitia, from Grande Section to CM2 (1997-2003) (translated from French)
