Pedagogical approach

At YKA, our pedagogical approach is both unique and innovative, aiming to offer our students an exceptional educational experience. We have implemented an exceptional learner-centered educational approach, where classes are taught equally in English and French by our highly qualified native teachers. This linguistic immersion fosters a natural, fluent acquisition of both languages, preparing our students to be competent communicators in an increasingly interconnected world.

We strongly believe in the importance of being actively involved in our community. We regularly organize initiatives, events and partnerships that enrich the lives of our students and their families. Our goal is to create an inclusive and dynamic school environment, where the values of solidarity, respect and social responsibility are put into practice. We also encourage community service, offering students concrete opportunities to contribute positively to their environment and develop their sense of responsibility towards others.
