L'Institut de La Tour - Anglophone Section
Philosophy The Anglophone Section's Primary Programmes were developed to create a completely English-speaking environment in which children can maintain and develop their oral skills as well as learn and build the foundations for reading and writing. Native-speaking teachers use materials from primary programmes in the UK and US.
