Hello everyone,

Moving abroad can be particularly hard on children. For any parent planning a move to France, it is of utmost importance to make sure they do everything in their power to make sure their children’s transition is as smooth as possible. Would you be able to give a few tips to parents planning to move to France by answering the following questions on children integration?

What does one need to factor in when choosing a new school for their children in France?

How does one prepare their children for the transition into a new school in France?

How does one help their children integrate into their new school? Any tips to help a child transitioning into a completely different new program or curriculum?

Is there an age period during which a child really should change schools?

What are the signs that a child is having trouble transitioning into their new school?

Tell us how it went for your child in France.

Please share your experience,

Bhavna

My grandson was thrown in at the deep end in a french school without knowing much french and the teachers were unsympathetic  to the point of  being aggressive.
My grandson responded by being disruptive to the point of being expelled.
He has survived though, speaks fluent french and can get a job anywhere.
