What are French schools like compared with English schools?

Answer 1

of course all schools are different but i have attended school (grade school through high school and university) in french. Just imagine your classes, English speaking, discussing in English, writing tests/exams/projects in English, but all in french. It's actually only in grade four that we started learning English in school other than that it was all french all our subjects everything. so it's not very different it's the same as you do just in another language.

The main difference between the British and French School systems is the stress on tests. British and American schools weight tests as a large percentage of the grade, but rarely more than 60%. The remaining percentage of a student's grade will come from participation, homework, preparedness, and other things that a student may do. In the French and European Continental System, the final examination is usually 90-100% of the final grade of the course with some wiggle room for other extraneous factors.
