Bilingual International School Of Paris (BISP) Primary

김도희

I was deeply worried at the same time felt guilty for my 6yr old, when my family had to move to Paris. I was constantly searching bilingual/international schools and contacting each to make the best choice out of the options I had in hand. Since my daughter had no experience in learning French and English, I knew it would be quite a challenge for her, cause I experienced the same thing when I was a school girl from an expat family back in the 90s (but for me it was only English that I needed to deal with). However, my daughter loved and still loves the school! The teachers are especially helpful and seem to fully understand the emotional stress that the students suffer from moving aboard along with the academical stress from learning two languages (or sometimes 3 if you are from a non-English or French speaking country) at the same time. After 6 months, now my daughter can make simple English sentences and understands French better than I do. Although I do need to help my daughter out with assignments, I find it less stressful than what I had to do in Korea where the pressure is much stronger and harder. Besides, my daughter says she wants to go to school every morning, so what more can I ask for?
