A reader of mine once asked:
“I live in Paris and I need a good school to study French which is not expensive, more like 500 800 euro for month.”
Now for those of you who live in second or third world countries, this might seem VERY expensive for you. It’s the normal price, however, to study languages in France.
One of the hardest parts of our move was finding schools in Paris.
We moved to Paris France in August 2008 when our children were ages ten and twelve and neither of them spoke any French. Now that we’ve lived in Paris for a year I realize that finding schools is one of the biggest challenges faced by all families relocating to Paris, including French families moving home after living overseas.
My strongest advice with regards to schools is to investigate the different options early, apply to a few schools and don’t assume you have a place until after you receive your acceptance letter.
