These annual and per-term totals are presented to give clear per-term and per-year figures for parent planning.

Curriculum

ABC School International in Nice offers a bilingual French-English program from maternelle through CM2. There are two curricula: Français 1re Langue Bilingue Anglais, preparing for the Baccalauréat général; and Anglais 1re Langue Bilingue Français, preparing for the Cambridge Primary Program. It is a private school under contract with the State for maternelle and primary and operates a Cambridge International Center, preparing children for Cambridge exams from age seven (YLE, KET, PET, FCE, CAE, CPE). The teaching follows the French National Education program with French and English teachers, small class sizes, and multimedia and internet resources integrated into teaching. The Cambridge Primary track is conducted in association with the University of Cambridge. ABC School was founded in 1987 by Mr. André Rosset and is located at 72 Boulevard Carnot, Nice 06300.

Gifted and Talented

ABC School welcomes intellectually precocious children and provides differentiated teaching aligned with their cognitive functioning and progression pace. Small classes and cross-age projects with an attentive staff support cognitive and psychosocial development. When appropriate, progression can be accelerated through two-level classes to harmonize learning and avoid gaps.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

An adaptation class provides a personalized welcome to facilitate better integration for students arriving from abroad. The school recognises that every child learns at their own pace and uses a personalized approach. To ensure effective immersion, each class limits the number of students from the same nationality to 10%, encouraging linguistic diversity and natural French learning within the group. An accompanying educational and family support system helps the child flourish academically and socially. From the start of the year, an assessment determines an individualized programme with clear quarterly objectives, with regular progress reviews in partnership with parents to adjust teaching methods as needed.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school offers a bilingual French-English program from kindergarten, promoting early mastery of both languages. English is taught by native English-speaking teachers who do not speak or understand French. The program maintains a bilingual framework throughout the early years to support language development. There are two curricula: French as the first language with bilingual English preparing for the Baccalaureate, and English as the first language with bilingual French preparing for the Cambridge Primary Program. The school was founded in 1987 and operates as a private bilingual school under contract with the State for kindergarten and primary, with Cambridge preparation integrated into the curriculum from a young age.

Safeguarding

The school provides safe transport to and from the campus with trained drivers, secure routes, and supervision to ensure punctual, secure travel. After-school care, supervised study, and tutoring are available to support students. The cantine serves balanced, bio meals supervised by professionals to promote healthy habits. An on-site program of care and academic support contributes to a secure and nurturing environment for learners. These provisions collectively support student welfare on a daily basis.
