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 difficult 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 over 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, which 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 should 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.

Christine Cussac
Director
Bordeaux International School
