The 314 Newsletter / Fall Break 2026
This Halloween,
—let your imagination run wild .
And let’s investigate.
From behind the scenes at a small theater to the mysteries of the lab: two bilingual holiday camps designed to turn vacation into an adventure, for children ages 3 to 12.
A Different Kind of Week
A pumpkin becomes a character. A mysterious mark becomes a clue. At 314 International School, Halloween opens two doors to the same joy: the joy of discovery through play.
From October 19 to 23, 2026, in Orsay, in the heart of Paris-Saclay, the youngest children will create their own stories while the older ones will conduct investigations. Two programs tailored to their age groups, with French and English as their playmates.
Ages 3–6 · Bilingual (French/English)
Little Actors
, and Pumpkins
Little actors. Big imaginations.
A costume, a story, a few pumpkins… and the scene comes to life. For children ages 3–6, Halloween is told, acted out, and brought to life in a joyful world that gives free rein to the imagination.
Theater, storytelling, and role-playing encourage children to express themselves, listen to others, and create together. The pumpkin crafts and workshops extend the story: everyone adds their own special touch to the world that’s taking shape.
- Theater, Characters, and Role-Playing
- Stories to Tell in French and English
- Pumpkin-themed crafts, decorations, and workshops
Both languages are part of the game: a word, a line of dialogue, a new way of telling a story. A week to be bold, to create, and to enjoy taking part.

Halloween Science
's Day Holiday Camp
Science gets spooky at 314.
Something happened in Lab 314. Clues are waiting to be deciphered, and phenomena need explaining… Kids ages 7–12 become scientific investigators, with five days to crack the case.
Open Case: CASE #314
Observe. Formulate a hypothesis.
Experiment. Connect the clues.
Every discovery fuels the investigation: we compare, test, and contrast our ideas with those of our team. Curiosity leads the way; science helps us understand.
- Footprints, Observation, and Analysis of Evidence
- Experiences, Reactions, and Invisible Messages
- Codes, puzzles, and team investigations
In French and English, the children describe their observations, share their hypotheses, and draw a conclusion. Until CASE #314 is solved.

A thousand ways to play.
Whether it’s telling a story, understanding instructions, describing a clue, or sharing a discovery, French and English play a role in the activities at both camps. The languages come to life through action, as the children interact and embark on adventures.
Designed with families in mind as well
One place.
Two adventures.
