School advice for Domfront en Poiraire

Hi
I’m moving my family to Domfront in Orne, Normandy this summer. We have been expats for a while and havent experienced college in France.
There are 2 colleges, one private Catholic and one state.
Does anyone have any thoughts they can share about the college system? Or these schools in particular?
TIA
Liz

The best thing to do is to ask around as to what the local parents think of both schools. My 2 youngest children moved from state school to Catholic school under contract with the state. In hindsight, it was a good move, certainly for collège, but they went back into state school for lycée. My eldest did state school all the way, and had a bad time at our then local collège, but moved to an international streaming school for lycée.

I echo Alex’s comments. I’ve got one in each which suits each of them better, depends on the child and their needs :wink:
