"The Lower School is well run by a caring and switched-on head teacher. The collège principal is not widely respected and many parents do not appreciate his quite cavalier style. The lycée principal runs a tight ship but the facilities in the lycée are sorely lacking -- very cramped conditions, study periods conducted in a converted garage which also serves as a cafeteria, no library..," said one expat in Maisons-Laffitte with children at Ermitage International School of France.
