...Education in France
FRENCH SCHOOLS WITH AN INTERNATIONAL SECTION
French schools with a dedicated international section follow the French curriculum but have several private areas of tuition, which teach the corresponding country’s curriculum in its language.
“It is worth noting,” advises Martina Meinhold, “that French schools with international sections do not automatically offer the International Baccalaureate.”
NATIONAL SCHOOLS In Paris and, more precisely,
its western suburbs, a
number of places are available in a large choice of schools offering an academic programme based on a foreign national model of education.
The American School of Paris, located in Saint Cloud, Marymount School, in Neuilly, and the British School of Paris are three very popular options for expatriate families, Martina Meinhold says. German relocatees have a choice between the German school, in Saint Cloud, and the French-German Lycée, in Buc, near Versailles.
“As these schools provide a harmonised programme all
over the world, they are particularly attractive to expatriates who have to move frequently, such as embassy and government personnel,” explains Ms Meinhof.
MEETING INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
In the end, says Martina Meinhof, the decision will depend on the needs of the family and the individual child. “In our experience, it is difficult to make any generalisations when advising on schooling in France, because the choice depends on the specific situation and a number of

factors, such as the age of the child on arrival in France, the family’s ability to learn a new language, the expected duration of their stay in France, where they choose to live, and their financial situation.
“After making an informed choice, however, there is
no reason why any family moving to France will not be able to take advantage of the rich and rewarding experience that comes with making an international move.”
Sue Dunnachie, marketing consultant at Mougins School, on France’s Côte d’Azur, adds, “Any choice of school needs careful thought, as the repercussions of both good and bad decisions can have an impact on all the family. “Receiving an education in an international environment teaches a child that there should be no racial barriers or discrimination, that it is our differences that make each and every one of us special. The experience opens up the world, as children learn about cultures other than their own and become the ‘global nomads’ of today.”
David Johnson, from the International School of Nice, adds, “A good school is one that has a buzz that permeates the school. Visiting parents can feel it in the hallways and corridors, in meeting students and other parents, and observe it in the display boards and other visual materials that the school uses to communicate, both inside and outside the school community.
and other
“The fact that a school offers creative arts, sports extracurricular
activities allows new students
to immediately become part of the community and take part in a wide range of activities, both in and out of school. Most international schools place a high degree of importance on a holistic approach to education.”
