We have two daughters aged 7 and 5 who are bilingual. We have been thinking about moving to the Aix area for sometime.We are keen to get the education sorted out before we take the plunge again as a previous attempt to move to France was a bit of a disaster in terms of the schooling. After a long hard search we have narrowed down the following possible options for their schooling: 1. CIPEC followed by IBS 2. EUROPIPOLE followed by IBS or anything else that is available 3. International School in MANOSQUE Does anyone have first hand experience of any of these schools so that we can decide which would provide an all-round education with good academic standards? They are at a monolingual private school in England and from what I have gathered so far, the moment you enter into a bilingual school in France you have to sacrifice the academic level as well some of the extra-curricular activities. Can anyone tell me how CIPEC compares with EUROPIPOLE?How hard is it to get a non ITER child into the Manosque Secondary School? Nomads
