France school
However, there are some private
schools that are not subject to these obligations and particularities of the French education
system.
Nursery school classes accept toddlers at 2 or 3 years of age, starting in September. The children
develop their basic faculties, improve their speaking skills and are introduced to the world of
reading and writing, numbers and other key areas of learning. From age 6 to 11, the children
attend elementary school which is mixed and freein the case of public (state) schools.
The 'collège' accepts all pupils after elementary school without the need to pass an entrance
exam. The teaching is structured by subject: French, mathematics, history-geography, 'civics' or
civil education, biology and earth sciences, technology, art, music, PE, physics-chemistry. The
objectives are fixed by national programmes.
After the 'collège', pupils continue their education in a general and technological 'lycée' or a
professional 'lycée'
