AN EDUCATION WITH A EUROPEAN OUTLOOK

  • Bilingual schools 

Dunkirk’s Alain Savary de Dunkerque preschool has had a bilingual French-Dutch class for some years now. As learning languages is so easy for children from a very young age, it gives them the chance to get to know the language of our closest neighbours which is spoken by almost 23 million people throughout the world. By providing education in English, you’re shaping your kids into perfect little Europeans.

  • International section at high school

From secondary school level, the Institution Notre Dame des Dunes offers fully bilingual French and Dutch or Spanish education.  

At secondary school level, it teaches European and international classes, resulting in enhanced English learning.

This means your teenagers will have the chance to make strides in the language of Shakespeare and prepare well-known certifications which will be useful in their undergraduate studies.  

  • Undergraduate studies in Dunkirk

Studying at the University Littoral Côte d’Opale, ISCID-Co or EILCO provides opportunities to conquer Europe through the Erasmus programme thanks to their numerous partnerships with European (and world) universities. 

  • International school in Lille    

Do you want to educate your child in English? The European school Lille Métropole gives you the chance to do so just 30 minutes by high speed train from Dunkirk. Practical, isn’t it?
