  • Education – Schools in Paris
    ACS- Education / Schools July 2017 Education – Schools The large, long-established American community in France makes possible a wide range of educational opportunities for Americans. Essentially three types of schools are available: private American schools, bilingual schools where both French and English are used, and the French school system, taught in French, which is designed to lead to the Baccalaureate examination. American children have been accepted in French schools and, when necessary, tutored in the French language. The Embassy does not recommend particular schools or send representatives to visit them. For more information on any of the schools listed below, please contact the schools directly. American and British Schools The American School of Paris (K – 12) Tel: 01 41 12 82 82 41, rue Pasteur Fax: 01 46 02 23 90 92210 St Cloud E-mail: [email protected] (admissions secretary) The American School of Paris, or ASP as the school is more familiarly called, is an independent, non- profit accredited co-educational school, pre-kindergarten through grade 12 that offers an American educational program to students of all nationalities. The Lower School (grades kindergarten-5) offers an educational program typical of reputable American elementary schools, with emphasis on meeting individual needs. The school has a guidance counselor, and English as a foreign language (ESOL) is instructed. A French language and culture program is included in the curriculum for all students. In addition an extra-curricular program of Franco-American activities for older students (grades 4-5) creates opportunities to mix with French children. Consistent with ASP's educational philosophy, the middle school offers a program of studies based on an American curriculum.

  • Le Lycée Santos Dumont 1967 - 2017
    Paul Baquiast (éd.) Proviseur du lycée Santos Dumont Docteur en histoire Le lycée Santos Dumont 1967 - 2017 Promenade à travers 50 ans d’histoire de l’enseignement professionnel et technologique 2e édition, revue et augmentée 1 © Lycée Santos-Dumont, 2018. 2e édition, revue et augmentée 2 Le lycée Santos Dumont et l’American School of Paris (ASP) : une amitié franco-américaine Si les Ricains n’étaient pas là Vous seriez tous en Germanie A parler de je ne sais quoi, A saluer je ne sais qui. Janvier 1967 : la chanson d’un jeune chanteur jusqu’alors inconnu défraye la chronique et est rapidement interdite d’antenne à la radio. L’objet du scandale ? Oser remettre en cause, à mots couverts, la politique d’indépendance vis-à-vis des Etats-Unis du général De Gaulle, qui a décidé de retirer la France du commandement intégré de l’OTAN, cette alliance militaire créée par les Etats-Unis au début de la guerre froide pour faire face à la menace soviétique sur le monde occidental. Le chanteur, Michel Sardou, se met 3 à dos aussi bien le pouvoir gaulliste que le parti communiste, qui soutient alors l’Union soviétique, et les nostalgiques, encore nombreux, du régime collaborateur de Vichy. Il installe ainsi, pour longtemps, son image de chanteur populaire à la fois provocateur et insoumis.
