International schools and schooling on the Côte d'Azur

School usually decides the neighborhood, not the other way round. Places in international schools are secured well in advance.

The main options

  • International schools and English-speaking sections
  • Private bilingual schools
  • The French state system, free and demanding in French

Choosing on the right criteria

Daily commute, continuity through to the baccalauréat or IB, language support on arrival, family social life: these are the criteria that hold up over time.
