Re: public vs private schools for non-French speakers in Vaud

Ah! Very important info for me! Thanks. In Vaud, is the kindegarten in the same school as primary school?
Depends on the village, it can vary. In our village, we have a large 'hub' school that goes from 4 up to 15, but we looked at a couple of quite rural houses where they had a small enfantine in the village but it would have been necessary to bus over to the next village for primary. Like you, I was specifically looking for somewhere where the kids could be together. Even though our enfantine is quite separate, in its own building with its own playground, they go into the main school for gym, using the library, etc, so the kids still feel that they go to the same school. I believe some of the private/international schools also split their campuses on an age/ grade basis, so that's something to consider although I imagine that kids of 5 and 7 would at least be in the same place to start with.

Thansk Kodokan...I have read many threads from you over the last few months - they have been VERY helpful!!
*Blush* - don't mention it, just payback for all the other useful info I glean from the Forum in areas I am less knowledgeable about.
