What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?
Non transition program. If your child is a non French speaker the process is to put the kid in one o two grades down, with the small kids. No program for repatriation plus they will not be cooperative in giving you any documentation.

2 markets a year where parents are invited. No parent-teacher organization.

If your kid is a non French speaker is a big NO. No timetable for administration stuff, the husband of the headmistress does sometimes the job. By other hand, to enrol your kid, you only need to give the name of your child and transfer the money, quick and no paper work involved.

guestI agree, and I will add that this report is very soft for what my kid and I went through because of this school. She lost the year in all levels including learning French. Only the English teacher speaks English, no one else in the hole school! You can call it anything except "school" sorry, but it was a horrible experience indeed.
GwennWow, thanks for the heads-up. I now know that just because a school puts 'Montessori' in its name, doesn't mean it really is a Montessori school. What a world.
