What are the schools in France like?

"I would ask to meet the teachers. The team is strickingly dedicated and passionate. When we first visited, one of the primary teachers (who is a male for once) showed us the experiments they had been doing that afternoon; the children (6 or 7 year-olds) has been designing their own electric circuits ! The teacher was very keen to tell us all about it, and one child explained in a lot detail how he had built his circuit board (my husband and I were rather impressed)," wrote an expat with kids at Forest International School in The western suburb in a town called Mareil Marly.

"Be ready for a small school enviornment. Which has both pros and cons. Be active and agressive to ensure childs progress and adjustment. Become involved in the school and community activities," commented one expat when asked about The American School of Paris in St. Cloud.
