Start with the real need
School level alone does not tell the whole story. An initial assessment helps identify existing strengths, difficulties and the priorities that should guide the work.

What is MarcoPolo Academy?
A centre dedicated to school and academic skill development, primarily for students from the final year of kindergarten through the end of secondary school.
A centre for skills development
MarcoPolo Academy offers structured programmes across three areas: core skills development, cognitive and creative development, and academic development. The goal goes beyond improving school results. Students strengthen what they already know, develop more effective study methods, sharpen their reasoning, build independence and acquire the skills they need to keep progressing.
Our school programmes are designed around the curriculum and expectations of the French national education system. Students from other school systems may also join when they are willing to work within this academic framework. Cognitive, creative and academic development programmes are open to students from different educational backgrounds, subject to the requirements of each programme.
Why does MarcoPolo Academy exist?
Because occasional help is not enough to create lasting progress.
A student can work hard without knowing exactly what needs to improve, possess knowledge without being able to use it effectively, or keep working without connecting that effort to a clear objective.
MarcoPolo Academy exists to bring structure and coherence to that progression. It provides a clear and demanding framework in which students can consolidate what they know, develop their abilities and prepare for future academic expectations without becoming dependent on permanent support.
Help students understand the purpose behind what they learn and the effort expected of them.
Turn consistent effort into lasting progress.
Help students become progressively more independent, capable and academically secure.
