Paris, 75016

Guest speaker: Florence Créneguy

Presentation: Mme Créneguy will explain how the French system ‘traditionally’ works from Primary through University and some of the ‘problems’ that gifted children typically encounter in schools. While the French Government is currently engaged in initiating and implementing education reforms and much remains to be seen, this talk will focus on the general practices and theories of the public and semi-private system as well as Mme Créneguy’s long career as a teacher until her retirement three years ago. This talk is generally aimed at helping parents manage the French system by understanding how it is structured and opportunities to make it work for your child. With your RSVP, please send along your questions including the ages and grades of your children. This will help us understand the needs of the participants.
General information on the French system can be found in this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_France.
