Frequently asked questions
What age does Grade 1 start?▾
In the French system, CP (Grade 1) starts at age 6. Children born between January and December of the same year are in the same class. In US/UK systems, Grade 1 typically starts at 6 too (with cutoff dates varying by district).
My child was born in December, are they behind?▾
No. In France and most European countries, children born in any month of the same year are in the same class. A December-born child will be the youngest with ~11 months less than January-born peers — that's normal.
How do I know my child is ready for Grade 1?▾
End-of-Kindergarten goals are: recognize alphabet letters, write their name, count to 30, understand before/after and more/less. If your child masters these, they're ready. Otherwise, target these areas with our K-level tools.
What if my child struggles at their level?▾
First, isolate the struggling skill (reading, writing, math). Then revisit previous-level worksheets to consolidate before moving on. 10-15 minutes/day of targeted practice often works. If the block persists for months, consult the teacher or a specialist.
Is my child advanced?▾
If your child consistently masters next-grade content, they may be advanced. But academic precocity isn't a competition — what matters is offering stimulating challenges at their REAL level, not necessarily skipping a grade (often emotionally counterproductive).
