OBJECTIVES

The International School offers students from different countries (around twenty nationalities) the opportunity to study together. We want students to benefit from their time in France, while continuing an academic program complementing that from their native countries.
Learning French, attending classes with students from other countries, making French friends, and experiencing the cultural differences of another country will enhance the education program for each student attending the International School.

We are able to help students to integrate into an English or French education.
The objectives of the International School at Massillon / Notre - Dame School are to :
- immerse the nursery students in French classes.
- provide a quality bilingual education for English-speaking children associated with the Michelin Group, and other companies,
- integrate non English-speaking children into French classes, with help in French language.
- integrate children who do not speak English or French into English classes, with help in English language. (only for secondary school).

In working with Massillon / Notre-Dame School, we want :
- to ensure a smooth integration of students from different cultures,
- to offer the opportunity of study with other students of different nationalities, ,
- to adjust to individual needs within the curriculum,
- to receive in the different programs, students from outside (other companies, not only children of expatriates employed by Michelin),
- to offer additional language help in Portuguese, Japanese, German, and Polish...

We hope that the International School will meet the needs of each student and that they find their time living in France a memorable experience.
