Bordeaux’s international-school scene is compact and centred on bilingual French - English provision alongside a small number of schools offering international curricula such as the International Baccalaureate or British IGCSE/A-level pathways. Many schools aim to serve both transient expatriate families and local French parents seeking bilingual education, so you will commonly find immersive or dual-stream teaching and a strong emphasis on learning French as well as English. Fees for private international schools in the city typically start in the low thousands of euros for nursery and rise with year group, with recent published schedules from local private schools showing early-years tuition around €7 - 9k and senior-school fees that can exceed €15k per year. Admissions follow the French school year pattern with the main intake in September, though several schools offer rolling places during the year; expect language assessments, school reports and vaccination/ID documents as part of any application. Relocating families should budget time to visit, check transport options (schools are spread between central Bordeaux and nearby suburbs), and consider whether they need a bilingual or an English-medium pathway depending on how long they plan to stay in France.
