What École Internationale Bilingue de Nice offers English speakers in Nice
École Internationale Bilingue de Nice has been on boulevard Gambetta since 1989 and takes children from two years old through maternelle and primaire. The model is an even split, half the week in English and half in French, with the curriculum written against both the French and anglophone systems and Cambridge English certification used to check progress. Music starts at four, robotics runs through Algora, and the extras include Chinese, chess, choir and yoga. The school describes itself as declared and approved by the Éducation Nationale.
Its opening hours solve a problem nobody warns arriving parents about. Around nine in ten communes run their primary schools on a four-day week, which means no school on Wednesday, and Wednesday childcare then becomes a standing scheduling problem for two working parents. EIB runs 07:30 to 18:30 and provides cover on Wednesdays and through the school holidays. When you compare schools here, ask what happens on Wednesday before you ask about the curriculum, because that is the answer that decides whether your year actually works.
