Comment on Homeschooling in France by Penny

Hi Cynthia. It sounds like a great plan. I really don’t know a great deal about language classes for learning French as a foreign language, but I think there are lots of possibilities for adults and a lot depends on which town you go to. I’m not quite sure from what you said, whether you are hoping to find classes for yourself and youngest child together, or separately? I would guess that could be more of a problem, and of course, if you are in language classes, what would your youngest be doing?

There are far fewer homeschoolers in France, and there’s a need to plan more carefully for the social needs of an 11-year old than there would be in the US. Except in large towns like Paris, this probably can’t be met by other homeschoolers alone. The best bets are to sign up for after school activities and school holiday activities.

I was viewing the HSLDA website, and your address was listed as a contact for homeschoolers in France. We are hoping you can answer our questions and/or guide us to other info which might also give us assistance.

We are interested in coming to France for 6-12 months for a couple of reasons. Our high school graduate would like to improve her French skills and study business management at university. I would also like to accompany her, along with our 11 year old, so we could enroll in a language school to learn French ourselves.

Do you know of resources we could check out? Schools to view or avoid? In your view, is this even possible?

We are experienced homeschoolers, and would definitely hope to connect with the homeschooling community in France.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I’m the editor of an American homeschooling magazine and was wondering if we could chat via email about homeschooling in France. Your blog is beautiful!

You wrote: “I believe CISE has started a discussion forum for bilingual homeschooling…”
Where can I find more information about this bilingual homeschooling forum?

Wow, that’s fantastic.
We’re starting to work some German into our schedule. It’s fun… but a challenge.

Oh my! It does sound like you guys have a busy schedule. Things around here are going to get more busy on the 15th. Until then I’m trying to chill… which is currently more or less impossible with my constantly fighting kids… *sigh*
