A word from the Head Teacher
Moving to France, for whatever reason, is an exciting adventure, and an opportunity to enjoy a new way of life. However, where children are involved, language barriers and education can cause concerns. Bordeaux International School can help to smooth this transfer. Older children sometimes find it hard to integrate into the French education system, which can be further compounded by a limited understanding of the language, but Bordeaux International School provides continuity of curriculum and facilitates the acquisition of bilingual skills through its international staff.
For 20 years, Bordeaux International School has provided an unrivalled pupil-centred environment, where small classes are taught to a high standard. Our latest examination results, which far exceed the UK national averages, are one indication of the quality of our teaching. Some of our English-speaking pupils have previously attended French schools, where they found it difficult to cope. At Bordeaux International School, we help pupils gain maximum benefit from their new life in France; they learn French in a supportive environment and develop an appreciation of French culture and lifestyle through our involvement with the local Bordeaux community.
We teach pupils of all ages and nationalities with different educational and linguistic needs. Our staff, who includes both French and English native speakers, are highly competent, dedicated and experienced in teaching multinational pupils. Our teaching approach focuses on the pupils and structures their learning in order for them to achieve their full academic potential
You and your child(ren) are cordially invited to visit the school and meet our staff and pupils. I would be delighted to greet you personally, and introduce you to the relevant head of section who will show you around the school, and answer any questions you might have.
Please do contact me if you require any further information.
