Tip: Enrolling Children in School in France

Interesting post about enrolling children into French schools. This can be especially difficult if you have just moved to France. What evidence do you need, and what is the procedure?

You need proof of address to enrol your children in school.
You are right to rent a furnished apartment first , six months is good until the end of the school year.
The rental contract will be proof enough for you to enrol in the school.
Often with furnished apartments and for stays of less than 12 months, the utility bills stay in the name of the landlord so it would be unlikely that you will be able to have a EDF account in your name.

It is likely you will need your daughter's birth certificate/passport as well as your own passport.  The first step is to contact the town hall and not the school.

Garderies(Creches) are available in all schools until 18.00/18.30, the fees are usually up to 1€ per hour. The canteen can cost anywhere between 3-6 euros depending on the school.
