The French Constitution guarantees free, compulsory, and secular education for children aged 3 to 18.
France has a well-developed network of private schools, where about 17% of schoolchildren study. Private schools can enter into an agreement with the state; in this case, the state pays teachers’ salaries, and the schools are required to follow the national curriculum. Schools without an agreement are completely independent, but their diplomas may not be recognized by the stat

Primary education begins with kindergarten (école maternelle), which is mandatory for children from the age of 3.
After kindergarten, children move on to primary school (école élémentaire), which lasts five years. Education is based on a national curriculum that includes French, mathematics, history and geography, civic and moral education, natural sciences, art, physical education, and a foreign language (usually from the age of 9). At the end of primary school, national tests are conducted to assess the level of knowledge.

The college is the first stage of secondary education, which lasts four years. In college, all students study a single curriculum. From grade 4e, some optional subjects appear, but there is no early specialization. Upon completion of their studies, students take the National exam - Diploma of Lower Secondary Education (brevet). Successful completion is not required to advance to the next level.

After college, students transfer to the lycée, where specialization begins. The lyceum lasts for three years. There are three types of lyceums: general, technological, and professional. General and technological lyceums prepare for bachelor's degree and higher education. The professional lyceum prepares students for specific work specialties.
Upon studying, students take a bachelor's degree exam.

"Grandes Écoles" are small, highly prestigious universities. Typically, after completing a bachelor’s degree, students enter preparatory classes for two years, where they intensively study the subjects they will be tested on. At the end they take exams. Diplomas from Grandes Écoles are highly valued in the job market.
