Understanding the French education system
|
The French Education system differs significantly from foreign school systems in both organization and culture. Historical reasons, French so-called "exception culturelle", be it for whatever reason, it still takes a while to grasp the intricacies of French Education in order to feel at ease dealing with it as parents. As a matter of fact, it can even be worisome for French-born parents ;-)
Please keep in mind when investigating the issue that there are 3 status for schools in France:
-
public: run and funded by French State, applying "official" programs
-
private under state-contract: companies or non-profits run independantly, teachers paid by French State, applying "official" programs
-
private without contract: companies or non-profits run independantly, not funded, with academic freedom
