What are the schools in France like?
When we asked about the schools in France, they said...
"There is an entrance exam every year and there is a lot of demand with very few openings. If your child is not going into CP, try anyway. The number of available places in the CE1-CM2 grades announced on the website may not accurately reflect reality. I highly recommend this school. I think the teaching is wonderful and the international community is very inviting. If my child didn't know any French, I would get them started on it because the learning is fast-paced and the kids need to keep up. Seeing as how the children were selected through a test, the level of ability is quite high," commented one expat when asked about Haut Sartoux Primary Anglophone Section in Valbonne.
"You can contact them to find out more. They regulary have open days so you can take a look at the school. So well worth a look! www.ebicaschool.com," remarked one expat living in Nice with children attending EBICA (Ecole Bilingue Internationale Côte d'Azur).
