A School Day in France.

Surprisingly, going to school in France is quite different from going to school in the U.S.

In France the school day starts at 8am after a couple classes, the students get a two hour lunch break. Afterwards more classes and the school day ends at 4pm. At the middle school and high school age the students are taught a wide variety of subjects including, French, math, physical and natural sciences, foreign language, history and geography, economics, and civics.

One big difference between French and American schools is that while there is no uniforms, their dress code includes a banned on any religious clothing item.

The school year in France runs from August to June and is divided into four terms, each seven weeks long with a one or two week break in between each term.

Which school year sounds better to you??
