Active
The student at the heart of learning. We learn by doing, by exploring, by making mistakes and trying again.
Our program
From Preschool to High School, a continuous journey.
Four connected programs to support every child, from their earliest learning all the way to higher education. A pedagogical coherence rarely found in Guinea.
01 — Program 1
Preschool
Ages 3 — 6
Awakening and discovery. The first years, when a child learns how to learn — through play, language, movement, and meeting others. Our preschool gently prepares the way into the fundamentals of learning.
TPSPSMSGS
- Active, caring teaching
- Early exposure to language, numbers, and creativity
- Class sizes capped at 25 students
- Individual support through the first learning steps
02 — Program 2
Elementary School
Ages 6 — 11
Mastering the fundamentals — reading, writing, arithmetic — with a gradual opening to the wider subjects. Six years to build solid foundations, grow more independent, and develop a love of learning.

03 — Program 3
Middle School

Deeper study, independence, and method. Four years in which students consolidate what they have learned, discover new subjects, and shape their plans for the future. The final year prepares them for the BEPC — the middle-school leaving certificate, taken at the end of middle school.

BEPC 2026 — a 100% pass rate. Our very first class to sit the national exam (16 of 16 passing) inaugurates the High School: the cohort now entering 11th grade arrives with a certificate earned by the entire class.

Our approach
Teaching that is active, positive, cooperative, and differentiated.
Four pillars run through every program. They define the distinctive way we teach at Phénix, from Preschool to High School.
Positive
A relationship of respect and care between teachers and students. Trust as the foundation of high standards.
Cooperative
Mutual support among students and within the teaching team. We learn together, we grow together.
Differentiated
Every child moves at their own pace. Teachers adapt their methods so that each student can progress.
