Bonjour, I'm trying to engineer a move to Annecy, with my wife and two boys who will be 11 and 14 and will have very limited french language skills to start. I see there is an international school that goes through middle school but I can't find anything for my older boy. Is there an international high school nearby? My ability to pay tuition will be around $6k per child.
High school near Annecy for American child?

Welcome to the Forum 
International schools are very expensive. They average around €10,000 ($11,233) per year, per child.
Children are very adaptable and pick up languages very quickly.

Since my earlier post, I learned that middle school (i.e. "college") in France goes through age 15, or the U.S. grade equivalent of 9th grade and high school is the 3 years after that (grades 10 - 12). That would give my older boy a year in the Annecy international middle school, then maybe he could handle a French high school after that.
