schools in the Alps for kids aged 2, 5 and 7 years

[clearblue]

Hi, we are planning to move to the Alps in the summer for 12 months, to learn French for the kids, to ski and to generally have a break. We have a business that can be looked after remotely so work is not an issue. We are looking to rent for 12 months but above all we want to try to get the kids into a local primary school perhaps in Chamonix, Morzine or Les Houches, any help greatly appreciated, thanks

Kids here in France normally start school at age 4, with the maternelle. If you're legally living in France it should be no problem to enroll the kids in the summer when you get there. The two-year-old may have to be content with the halte garderie, but the other two will pretty much have to be enrolled in school.
Cheers,
Bev

Hi!

Again, sorry to have to play " avocat du diable ".

Have you looked at Health Insurance Question? It may be rather much more complicated than you think.
