The section is an integral part of the French state school system and is free of charge.

Overview

The program is aimed at English-French bilingual children from around the world. It includes families from Anglophone countries, expatriated in France, French families returning from expatriation in Anglophone countries as well as bi-national and bilingual families living in the area.
