Enrolling your child at a state-funded middle school or high school

To enroll your child at a state-funded middle school (‘collège’) or high school (‘lycée’), the first step is to make an appointment at the education information center (‘Centre d'information et d'orientation’ - CIO) to take placement tests and assess his or her level. Your child will then be assigned to a school, depending on the results of the assessment and the places available in schools close to your home.
