In France, there are two sorts of colleges:\n-"la faculté": you can go there as soon as you have got the "baccalauréat" (an exam you usually take when you are 18) but the level there is not always very good because there is no real selection\n- "les grandes écoles" such as Polytechnique for engineering or HEC for business studies. They are very selective and you have to attend a two year long intensive preparatory class to the very selective entrance exams of this school.

they are very similar.  good education if you are willing to put the effort into it.  choueifat i know is stricter on hair styles etc. and has a harder ciriculumm i think.  i know that in both the students tend to misbehave. as in harassing the teacher to tears (choueifat) and climbing on desks adn chairs during the lesson (mawakeb). my brother (who is transfering due to the lack of good education)and sisters go to mawakeb and i have many friends that went to choueifat but transfered.

Conceptually the French system puts more emphasis on knowledge of facts, tools and methods, which is great for natural sciences and medicine. The U.S. system emphasizes learning how to express your own opinion and how to implement an idea. I find American students more outspoken and independent, while French have more solid factual basis.\n\nBest education? Combination of both - getting a Bac (a high school equivalent) and maybe Bac +3 (undergraduate) in France and then getting a graduate degree in the U.S.

All public high schools in Mauritius teach the cambridge curriculum leading to O and A levels. After 5  years, the students take their O levels and two years later, their A levels. Admission in public schools is competitive, but most Indian working in Mauritius, tend to send their kids to the Mahatma Gandhi Institute, which is semi-governmental high school. Private schools usually offer the international Baccalaureate examinations.

Move to France for 6 months. Take an intensive french course in Cours de Civilation Francais for the whole six months. It's damn expensive, but they're perfect. \nI know it's not easy to move to France, but i did it, and it works ... It's easier to learn French in France, right ??

I'm a French young girl. Well, I suppose French young people's week-ends aren't that different from yours. They can do all sort of things, like going to the cinema, spending time with friends, going to parties or doing homework ! If you want to know what I am to do next week-end, I am to visit my grandmother and to do homework with friends. I know it's not that glamorous but is it my fault if teachers give us so much homework ?\n\nYou can do a poll on Yahoo answers France. It can give you more examples. Ask "Que font les jeunes Français le week-end ?" (you can ask in English if you want only answers in English)

Not really. It is of no importance to them.\n\nDo you learn all the provinces of France in your school? Why? Why not?

As a child in the French educational system, we used to study with Beschrelle or Bled. Try to find them, they are the basics.

Very similar to everywhere [really].  France is large [>500,000 sq. miles].  It has 3 different coast lines [Atlantic, Mediterranean, and English Channel].  It has the Alps and Pyrennes. The highest mountain in W. Europe is Mont Blanc.  The deepest gorge is in Verdon.  In July, the Normandy coast can demand a jacket and scarf on Monday and shorts on Tuesday.  The South easily reaches the 90's in Summer, while the Alps are close to the coast they keep their snow cover year round.  Rousillion is very dry and Brittany relatively wet.\n\nI'm afraid it's very much like asking what the the climate is like in the US or China, or any other large geographical region.

Japan is a country - and a very developed one. There are a huge number of schools in Japan, and I seriously doubt you`ll find a map listing all of them. \nI would suggest you choose one area, and then look for the schools.

I'm not sure if they have english schools there, you have to check first depending on which city u're residing in. However, I know they have French private schools in major cities such as the capital and Oran. So maybe they could have established english school. As for the tuition, it depends on the school, but expected to be a little high since most students who attend these private schools tend to be from upper-class families who can afford it.  Hope this was helpful

Yes. I'm not sure where it is, all I know is that it's a real school, =]
