What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

Don't. Children only attend 6 hours a weeks classes taught by English / American teachers, the other 80% they are back in the state French system (same building block) with absent & mostly unmotivated teachers. Days are long, lots of homework, little useful stuff learnt (that's the French for you). Facilities extremely poor (CRT computer monitors 1980's era). The reality is that most expats leave their assignment early to leave France because of the school and a lack of a better alternative.
