During this period of containment because of COVID 19, all teaching is being delivered remotely.
Administration is being maintained remotely via email.
Our phones are not being answered in the school, we are putting a call divert in place for 0033 5 53 64 24 97 and
0033 5 53 40 60 54
Calls will come through to Julie.
Julie's mobile number is 00 33 6 26 57 11 27 for calls or text.
We are answering private messages on the school Facebook page.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch. School is technically open, albeit we are working from home, like everyone else.

Beyond Covid 19
Before the current event, during and long after, we have and will continue to provide Distance Learning, for those that choose to Home School, or prefer to Home Study for their own enrichment.

Welcome to
The Old School
Thanks to our fabulous teaching team, supportive parents and a huge touch of kindness from Zoom, we are up and running with our regular timetable using remote video and audio, including data sharing to maintain lessons.

Our students have loved their lessons. We've been effectively delivering GCSE and A level subjects remotely, over video for the past year, no reason why we can't extend this service globally.
If anyone has any questions about homeschooling or maintaining their child's education programme whilst we are social distancing, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Lessons start from as little as €10 per hour depending on the package.
We hope that everyone is safe and well and that we will all be back together again, face to face, soon.

LATIN COMES TO THE OLD SCHOOL!
This year sees the addition of Latin to the timetable at The Old School. With over 50% of English words and nearly 90% of French words having their root in Latin, the study of the language, as well as being great fun, provides invaluable support across the curriculum. Moreover, the ability to deal with a classical language is still seen as a notable addition to any CV.
Chris Brannam, who has taught the subject to GCSE Level and beyond for over 25 years, will be offering classes to both beginners and those who have studied the subject before. The timings of the lessons will very much depend upon gaps in individual timetables, but a session on Friday afternoons between 4 and 6 p.m. has been provisionally allocated.
If your son/daughter would like to give the subject an initial try, please contact me at info@oldschoolfrance.com giving details of their level of experience and when they have free time in the timetable.
If you would like any more information please do not hesitate to speak to Chris at school.
