Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has up-to-date information about the Eurecole in Paris, at middle school level, or if anyone can put me in touch with parents of kids who attend the school? Thinking of sending my son there.
Schools evolve and information can get out of date so for anyone interested, here's my take on the Lycee International in Saint Germain en Laye, where my daughter is currently a student. The Lycee is an excellent school and continues to be among the best-performing state schools in France. However the workload is so heavy that any child who is not highly structured in their working methods will find it hard going. There is also a great deal of pressure on the kids to excel - we know several high school pupils who are actually on medication or in therapy to cope with their stress. I am sure the same goes for some of the other elite French lycées, but parents, particularly ones coming from countries where schools have a more balanced approach to education, need to be aware of this. These schools are not for the fainthearted!
I hope other parents with kids currently in French schools will add their own information to this thread.
