[quote=Anonymous]I think that you will love the school at those grades. The maternale and the primary school campus have pretty nurturing teachers. The rigidity is necessary because of its mission and purpose, which is to provide the standard French curriculum worldwide so that French kids can continue globally without missing a beat. Rochambeau has more American families now, particularly in the lower grades and they have made strides to appeal to a broad pool of families.

I love the school and our family will remain until HS and then switch to public. Since we’re an American family, I’m concerned that non-francophone kids could be at a disadvantage in college admissions. I could be wrong, but I assume that the top students in the HS are probably not coming from monolingual (English) households like ours. FYI, there’s an outstanding teacher at the HS who taught at NCS for years. I’ve heard great things about her honors English class.

If the school is not a financial stretch for your family, my guess is that you will probably love it. This was our final year at the primary school so we’ll see how MS goes. If immersion is really important to you, it’s probably the best deal in town. WIS is double the cost. The new primary school campus is slated to open in 2021, FYI.

Typing from my tiny iPhone, so please excuse any typos. Happy to answer any additional questions.[/quote]
