An Australian teenager in France

[Jo simmo]

Hi
My soon to be 15 year old daughter wants to do the last 3 years of her schooling in France. She will have to go to boarding school as although we are Australians we work in the Solomon Islands and there are no options for continuing her schooling here.

We are thinking Lyon might be a good place for her as we have good friends in Geneva and also in Bandol in the South of France.

I seem to be able to get only limited information online regarding boarding schools that cater for non French speaking students wishing to become fluent in French while undertaking their senior schooling. She is a well travelled and independent gorgeous young woman who will be ok on the other side of the world from us but I would love to see her in an environment that will appreciate her and nurture her so far away from home.

I realise this is very broad but any suggestions for great boarding schools anywhere in Lyon or the south of France.

Any help appreciated. Also I can't speak French however intend to learn.

thanks
Jo
