The Song “10, 11, 12”
The 6th-grade students pay tribute to the cultural richness of the Arab world through an iconic work by the Lebanese singer Melhem Barakat.
Guided by their visual arts and music teacher, Ms. Elias, they explored the expressive universe of the song “10, 11, 12,” blending lively rhythms and shared emotions.
An artistic and linguistic journey to celebrate diversity!
Market and Parts of the House
The CE2 students in Arabic as a Foreign Language created a video depicting two everyday situations. Through a trip to the market and a visit to a house, they use the vocabulary learned in class to express themselves in Arabic naturally and vividly. This project highlights their oral learning and their commitment to discovering languages.
I’m Hungry” and “Let Me Introduce Myself
The CE2 students in Arabic as a Foreign Language presented two dialogues titled “I’m Hungry” and “Let Me Introduce Myself.”
This work allowed them to practice speaking Arabic through simple everyday situations.

Each student presented a language, an expression, a cultural element, and the flag of a country, accompanied by a short oral presentation.
A project led by Ms. Rime El Hossamy, illustrating the richness and linguistic diversity under the theme « Des voix qui (ra)content ».
Mai des Langues au LFiA – Our Languages and Our Cultures
Secondary students in Arabic classes worked on the theme:
“Our languages and our cultures: going beyond preconceptions.”
They created posters linking Arab culture and technology, each accompanied by a QR code linking to an Arabic song related to the chosen theme. A creative project to celebrate cultural and linguistic diversity in a unique way.
Language Tree and Video Game
The 9th-grade students learning Spanish created a language tree and designed a video game with instructions offered in multiple languages. Congratulations to them for this beautiful multilingual and creative work!
The game was created by Marwan Essadi — well done on this great achievement!
Le Poulpe Biscornu
The CP1 students were inspired by the story “La chèvre Biscornue” and created their own original tale titled “Le Poulpe Biscornu”
They then drew the illustrations and designed the scenery for a kamishibai, the traditional Japanese paper theater that brings their story to life.
This project continued in English as part of the EMILE program, allowing them to tell their story in another language while having fun.
With great enthusiasm, our young artists took part in the Mai des Langues in the Middle East Zone.
Congratulations to the CP1 students who presented their story to several classes in the school, proudly sharing their creative and language work!
Each one is a precious piece of the puzzle of humanity
A piece for everyone, a puzzle for all!
At the initiative of the NAH Ambassadors, interested students were invited to celebrate the beauty of diversity through a symbolic and creative activity.

Our students received the “Students’ Favorite” award. Congratulations to all for their remarkable dedication!

The 8th Grade Market
The 8th-grade students took on a fun and unusual challenge: to invent products that look nothing like what they actually are.
A bag of chips filled with soap? A milk bottle full of candy?
They imagined how these items would look, carefully choosing colors, images, and layout.
You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover — or a product by its packaging!
