We would love to move to Paris, but have a seven year old and know nothing of the schools. Ideally, we'd like something progressive, English-language based (although of course we want him to become bilingual) and that he has a prayer of getting into.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

R.G.

I organize workshops on Eduation in France and schools in Paris to help expats find schools and adapt rapidly to the system. I can also help you from a distance if you're not planning a trip to France in the near future.

Dear Margeret Lanzenberg,

I wanted to reply to your message you sent to "easyexpat" because I really wanted to know if you could help me.
I live in Switzerland in Lausanne and I'm half english and half german. But I speak french fluently.
Do you think you could help me find a school for me in Paris? I Would like to move there next year. I'm 19 years old and since many years, I've been thinking of moving to Paris. I find that it's an exciting city to live in and i have a boyfriend since 4 years who lives there.
By the end of the year, I'm going to have a " Diplôme en socio-pédagogie" and I don't know yet if I can get into a school in Paris with a Swiss diploma.
I would be interested in finding a hotel school or a school to become a " conseillère en famille" so to a school where I could study Psychology.
I really hope you're kind enouth to give me 1 0r 2 advises...

See you soon, Joanna Fairgrieve
