ÉCOLES BILINGUES

The large, long-established American community in France makes possible a wide range of educational opportunities. Essentially three types of schools are available: private American schools, bilingual schools where both French and English are used, and the French school system, which is designed to lead to the Baccalaureat examination. American children have been accepted in French schools and, when necessary, tutored until they can hold their own in the French language in public schools at the lower levels and in some private schools at all levels. The Embassy does not recommend particular schools or send representatives to visit them.
