You just need to be willing to travel a little. Boulogne sur guess is equipped with a nursery/primary and secondary school. My child is in primary and doing well. There are many ex pats here but we're all spread out. The best place for advice is someone who's experienced it all and if you look at my friends blog (a mother in France) just google her, you can have all that info. She has five children who have been through all the schooling system, she has her own gardening business and has been here for over 10 years, there's nothing Nikki doesn't know to be fair. A good friend to have and will give you all the info you need. It's not that bad, just different and once you embrace the way of life you'll get on superbly. I pay a retired teacher 10 euro an hour, one hour a week for her to help my child with French vocabulary, orthograph and grammar. Hope this helps you

(Just really to prove to CS that my eyes aren't that bad - at least before aperitif time).
