What The Hive Academy offers English speakers in Valbonne
The Hive Academy is a small American-curriculum school in Biot covering grades six to twelve, roughly ages eleven to eighteen, built around small classes and an afternoon programme in sport or the arts that every pupil takes rather than choosing as an extra. It is a SAT and AP test centre, and it makes specific arrangements for pupils travelling in from Monaco, which is a genuine constraint on that commute. Teaching is in English and French is part of the week.
Its Cognia accreditation is the thing to look at if there is any chance you will move again. Cognia accredits schools across the United States, and its stamp is what makes a transcript legible to an American admissions office or a receiving high school, so credits earned here transfer instead of being argued case by case. Ask any international school on this coast which body accredits it and where that accreditation is recognised. A school can be genuinely good and still leave your child's paperwork awkward in whichever country you move to next.
