Schools: The large, long-established American community in France makes possible a wide range of educational opportunities for Americans. Essentially three types of schools are available: private American schools, bilingual schools where both French and English are used, and the French school system, taught in French, which is designed to lead to the Baccalaureate examination. American children have been accepted in French schools and, when necessary, tutored in the French language.
The Embassy does not recommend particular schools or send representatives to visit them. For more information on any of the schools listed below, please contact the schools directly.
