British Curriculum International Schools in France

British-curriculum international schools in France typically teach the National Curriculum for England and prepare pupils for Cambridge IGCSEs and A-levels, though many schools also offer bilingual pathways, the IB Diploma or integrated French international-section programmes. Instruction is usually English-medium with substantial French language teaching and, in a number of schools, balanced French-English streams that lead to bilingual qualifications. Fees vary sharply by type: state-run international sections charge only modest section fees while independent British international schools commonly publish annual tuition in the low five-figure range (with some large Paris schools higher once deposits and extras are included). The school year runs from September, admission rounds peak in the autumn and winter for the following September intake, and relocating families should expect language or entrance assessments plus paperwork such as recent school reports and, for certain state sections, proof of residence or enrolment eligibility.
