In France, your child’s school year is determined by the calendar year of birth (1st January – 31st December).
A teacher is responsible for his/her class and you can talk to him/her with complete trust. You should not hesitate to ask questions that seem important to you.
In the Primary school, your child will learn to read, to write and to count. He will study science, technology, history and geography. The pupils will do music, sport and will go to the swimming pool (8 weeks per year).
All these activities are important for his personal development. The common core brings together the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that are necessary for your child to succeed at school, in his personal life and in his future life as a citizen.
