At Somersfield Academy, primary French is taught using AIM, an interactive method integrating gestures, drama, music, and dance. It creates a supportive learning environment where students engage actively and naturally acquire language skills, preparing them well for advanced language studies and promoting cultural understanding.

The three-year cycle is a cornerstone of Montessori education, providing a stable and nurturing environment that supports the natural progression of a child's development. Through this cycle, children experience significant growth, develop a sense of community, and build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. The mixed-age setting fosters collaboration, mentorship, and a deep understanding of concepts, making the Montessori three-year cycle an invaluable component of early education.
