Kindercircus and school incursions

Kindercircus, from 3 to 5-year-old

It’s where everything starts, the place where the Magic between the circus and the French takes shape!

  • At this age children, learn so quickly and are really open to new experiences:

  • They want action, to move, to listen to and life story, to jump, to roll, to discover everything.

This is exactly what The French Circus School can offer and with a special guest … French!

The class is generally spilt into 2 groups, offering 45min per group.

All the circus equipment is used to offer a safe and amazing experience for every child in the kindergarten.

  • Depending on the session, we will work on fine motor skills, coordination, balancing, and general motricity, with some French immersion using songs, colors and more.

This program has been offered at Brookville Kindergarten, Fawkner Park Childcare Center, Renown Kindergarten, Wilson Street Kindergarten, John MacKenzie Kindergarten,Almost French and La Grande Recree.

À bientôt in your kindergarten

Testimonial from Teacher:

Stephanie T Kindergarten teacher in Brookville :

‘‘The children at Brookville kindergarten thoroughly enjoyed their weekly circus incursions with Anthony. Each session was ripe with learning experiences, practicing an array of circus tricks and putting motor skills and concentration to the test. Each week the skill base grew, Anthony mindfully built upon prior lessons to challenge children’s physical abilities. Anthony is engaging and kind with the children, he encourages them to try all experiences and to persist. His sessions have a strong focus on developing a growth mindset and can-do attitude. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Anthony. ‘‘

School incursions

Bonjour French teacher !

Are you looking for an original activity for your French students? Or something special for your French event?
The French circus school will come to your school to introduce your students to circus art and to learn some French along the way!

For a discovery session with students, The French Circus School offers a dynamic and fun introduction to juggling activities.
Students can explore juggling with balls, Chinese plates, and flower sticks while playfully practicing French, using action vocabulary, body parts, and more.
If the incursion is longer, students will also have the opportunity to learn balance skills on objects like the balance ball, unicycle, and barrel

Everything is possible, one-off session for your special French event or long-term incursion with a performance at the end of the program!

Testimonial from Valerie, French teacher at the Knox school:

“Anthony attended 'The Knox School' to complete 50 minute sessions with the students. The feedback from the students and teachers was outstanding; Anthony was organised, engaging and balanced the circus skills with the right amount of French. If you are looking for an incursion opportunity, The French Circus School is an excellent option. Merci Anthony!’’
