As a bilingual School of Excellence, Union School Paris’ priority is to offer children as many experiences as possible. Stimulating, socialising, structuring, exhilarating, it is through these experiences that their incredible cognitive abilities will be multiplied, opening up a multitude of opportunities.
This is why we have designed the Union School Academy: a Wednesday afternoon club that offers children the opportunity to learn while having fun. The workshops offered have been developed with partners who are specialists in early childhood, chosen for their professionalism and caring. Their programme is perfectly in line with the school’s educational philosophy.
Perfectly supervised, the children give free rein to their creativity, unleash their energy, and set out to conquer their multiple talents.

Our mission is to foster new talents and boost their confidence while igniting their interest in musical theater in a safe, enriching and fun environment. The energy of our activities is contagious – don’t be surprised when your child comes home singing new songs and ready to share their new dance moves !” – Début Avenue
Début Avenue has made a name for itself in record time for the quality and professionalism of its musical theatre courses. Its wonderful founder, Gabriel Jaquier, decided to move to the United States, where part of his family is based. Given the incredible success of Début Avenue, he decided to extend the adventure by appointing Adam Alexander, with whom he had already worked, as his successor. Adam leads Atlantic Theater Arts.

3 Workshops in English: Yoga for children / Coding for children without screens / LEGO® bricks from 1.30 pm to 4.30 pm.
1.30 pm to 2.15 pm
Following the adventures of Hayo the robot, children will learn how computers work, create algorithms, program a robot and code in binary, all without using a screen. So how does it work? Thanks to Colori’s fantastic English-speaking presenter, who encourages children to read, imagine, draw and manipulate coding concepts.
Why sign your child up for this screen-free English coding workshop?
Because the world is an eminently technological place, and it’s as essential to master its concepts as it is to know how to read, write or count.
Because technology is an integral part of general culture in the 21st century.
Because learning to code helps to develop many other skills: the ability to think abstractly and solve problems, logical reasoning, mathematics, vocabulary, etc.
Because it’s essential to learn this new language.
And because it’s fun!

This workshop is as much for the mind as for the body ! Warning, only 10 places !
1pm, it’s off to 1h30 of coding with Fun Tech Adventures and the wonderful Lysa, who will introduce your children to Scratch – in English, of course – starting with the theme of music. Because with code, you can create almost anything ! They’ll learn how to reproduce and even compose their own melodies using a computer. They will then discover Python, which they will use to code games, and finally have the opportunity to learn about artificial intelligence. With the help of this powerful tool, they’ll learn to compose images, videos and even… write poetry !
Every Wednesday for an hour and a half, we’ll turn their computers into tools and means of expressing their creativity, while learning to master the technologies of today and tomorrow !
At 2.40pm, departure for the Société Sportive du Jeu de Paume et de Racquets in a private shuttle bus.

They will start with a 30-minute introduction to Real Tennis on Paris unique, magnificent and historic court.
There’s no doubt that your children will soon be wowing the crowds (one of the 10 French expressions coined at the Jeu de Paume) ! The players will then have 1 hour of squash, a sport that has become extremely popular in the United States and which will be one of the disciplines at the 2028 Games in Los Angeles !
After a few minutes to quench their thirst in the club’s friendly bar, it’s back to Union School by shuttle bus !
It’s over!
