Relocating your family to a new country is an exhilarating adventure, but it also comes with a unique set of challenge. For many expat families moving to the South of France, finding the right school is the first step in turning a foreign house into a true home.
 

This guide compares traditional French schooling with the modern ICS approach, highlighting our 50/50 bilingual immersion, inquiry-based learning, and Culture of Care as the ideal path for global students.

Choosing the right school is a vital decision. This guide explores five key pillars—curriculum, facilities, community, values, and school partnership—to help families find the ideal environment for their child's learning.

Curious about raising bilingual children? We debunk common myths — confusion, speech delays, and timing — and reveal how bilingualism boosts thinking, empathy, and confidence at ICS Côte d’Azur.

ICS Côte d’Azur’s Culture of Care prioritises each child’s emotional, social, physical, and mental wellbeing, supported by trained staff, dedicated spaces, healthy habits, and strong family partnerships to ensure pupils feel valued and thrive.

At ICS, we believe that some of the most powerful learning happens when students of different ages work together. This approach, known as vertical learning, encourages collaboration, empathy, and leadership as older and younger students share their skills and perspectives.

At ICS and Globeducate, we recognise that creating a safe and supportive identity is not just a nice-to-have; it is fundamental to educational success.

In our latest Community Spotlight, we are happy to introduce Wei An! Mika is our Early Years supervisor whose care and attention for every student is highly appreciated by staff and parents.
