Artists in Residence

In 2025, our Grade 4 students spent a magical week working with Francis Cabrel, one of the major artists of French song, who has sold over 25 million records worldwide, thanks to his folk and blues ballads.

The students dove into the world of musical creation with him, exploring the structure of songs, playing with words, and expressing their deepest dreams.

The week concluded with a moving performance where our students took to the stage to share their creations, accompanied by Francis Cabrel.

Grade 1 students stepped into the imaginative world of Alegría and Kurios, two of Cirque du Soleil’s most iconic productions.

Inspired by the Quebec company’s creative approach, students rotated through hands-on workshops in acrobatics, music, stage makeup, singing, dance, and theater.

Throughout the week, they explored movement, character, and storytelling in a playful, collaborative setting. The residency culminated in a joyful presentation for families, celebrating their first introduction to the magic of circus arts.

Grade 3 students enjoyed a hands-on residency with Jacques Torres — “Monsieur Chocolat,” Meilleur Ouvrier de France, and founder of his Brooklyn chocolate factory.

After visiting his factory to discover the journey from cacao bean to confection, students took part in tasting sessions and creative workshops at school.

Inspired by New York City, they designed and crafted their own chocolate sculptures, which were proudly displayed in a final exhibition for families and the Lycée community.
