schools in Avignon and Aix-en-provence

[TinaM]

We are looking into moving to either Aix or Avignon with our then 8-year-old daughter. We are familiar with international schools and some college/lycee w/int'l sections in Aix but are looking for info on French ecoles primaire (private or public) which are used to having foreign children and are supportive.

Avignon: we don't know much about it yet. Does anybody have experience/knowledge of French schools (primaire/ college/ lycee) with international sections?

Thank you for any information.

Hi, I know that quite a few of the private primary schools in Aix have bilingual sections of some sort or another. I found a list on the internet a year or so back but can't find it now.  I'm pretty sure that the ecole st catherine has a bilingual section which filters into the collège mignet (state)

As far as I know, none of the state primaries  have an official bilingual class but that's not to say they aren't used to having bilingual/ foreign pupils.

Hi Mistral

Thank you for your reply. I will check it out, and also Ecole Sacre Coeur.

If anybody has children in any of the private French schools in and around Aix-en-Provence I would appreciate feed-back.
