Hello,
I have been offered a position in Paris. Does anyone  have any experience with international schools there? I have 2 children in high school and one in elementary school. Any thoughts on what is better,  a bilingual international versus local French immersion school? I think living abroad would be great for the kids.
FYI. My kids are not fluent in French.
Thanks.

I went to the Alliance Francaise in Paris. I met some cool people, but the classes were very big. I got fairly fluent nonethless by living there. Oo la la.

I think that if your children's French is not fluent you should consider bilingual school. It's their education you're talking about and if they don't get a chance to understand important information they will have some serious problems. Maths, biology, chemistry and all that stuff are very hard to be understood in foreign languages even if you're fluent.
