About international schools in Toulouse, France

Toulouse’s international-school scene is relatively small but varied, anchored by an English-medium IB day school in the Colomiers suburb and complemented by a German curriculum school and English-language sections that operate inside the French state system. Families will commonly find International Baccalaureate programmes, the German school curriculum, and the French national curriculum with “sections internationales” or OIB (Option Internationale du Baccalauréat) taught alongside extra English provision; languages on offer typically include English, French and German, with other European languages often available. Fees for full-time places at private international day schools are in the low-to-mid five figures in euros at larger schools (public international sections in state schools do not charge tuition), and many schools run a main intake in August/September while accepting some places on a rolling basis. Practical steps for relocating families include checking whether you should register with the city for a local school place, arranging any language-level assessment for non-Francophone children, and applying early for private-school places where demand is limited.

FAQs for France

What curricula will my child encounter in Toulouse’s international schools?
You will typically encounter the International Baccalaureate in English-medium international schools, the German school curriculum at the German international school, and the French national curriculum with international sections or the OIB in some state lycées. Individual schools will combine those pathways with local language tuition and additional modern languages, so check each school’s programme and accreditation before applying.
How much should I expect to pay for international schooling in Toulouse?
Tuition at private international day schools in the Toulouse area can reach around €16,000 per year at larger, established schools for a full-time place, while public state schools and their international sections do not charge tuition. Additional costs such as registration fees, transport, meals and extracurricular activities are common, so budget for those on top of published tuition.
When should I apply and what is the admissions rhythm?
The main intake for schools following a Northern-Hemisphere calendar is in August/September, and many private international schools also run rolling admissions for vacancies throughout the year. Schools typically require local registration documents, recent school reports and health records; if you plan to use a French public school you should also contact the local mairie or the reception service for newly arrived non-Francophone pupils to arrange any assessments.
Does my child need to speak French to join an international school in Toulouse?
Not necessarily: English-medium international schools teach in English and usually provide French lessons, while the German school teaches in German; however, state schools and international sections expect at least some French or will assess incoming non-Francophone children and arrange adapted reception classes. If your child will attend a French public school you should expect an evaluation of their French level and possible language support on arrival.
How do international sections in French public schools work and who can join them?
Sections internationales (and the OIB) are options inside the French state system where additional teaching is offered in a partner language (for example English) and assessed as part of the baccalauréat pathway; these places are often intended for bilingual pupils or those with strong competence in the partner language. Admission procedures vary by school and usually include an application and language checks, so families should contact the specific lycée or the local English-language association to learn entry requirements and deadlines.
