               The Learner Passport
               Une  des  innovations  majeures  de  l’école  est  le
               Passeport  de  l’apprenant-e,  qui  détaille  sept
               compétences que chaque élève développe tout au
               long de son parcours scolaire, en complément de
               ses résultats académiques. Cette approche vise à
               éduquer l'enfant dans tous les aspects moraux,
               sociaux, intellectuels et physiques.


               The  whole  idea  of  the  passport  is  to  describe
               learning not just through academic knowledge
               and  technical  skill  alone.  Although  knowledge
               and  skills  are  important,  there  is  much  more   “L’Ecolint s’inscrit à part entière
