I'm a former pupil, I was at this school for 3 years. The school is very clean with a forest next to it the inside is quite clean always smelling good and fresh. my first year there in 2016 there was a maths teacher who had severe anger issues, she would insult us and make us take extra lessons from her which costed 20€ as if the school isn’t expensive enough?! When it comes to the kids they are spoiled mafia kids who only talk about money and their fathers belongings. 12 year olds wearing tacky clothes from luxury brands and brag about it to their friends. The older ones post on social media, I'm in no place to critique someone parenting but who buys a their daughter a Porsche or a Bentley for their first car? Very negative environment for your kids to be around. School is way too expensive for what it offers, teachers are quite bad especially English and drama department. Solely focused on exams IGCSE’s and A Levels. They barely teach anything and expect you to get good grades. they handled the covid situation very poorly not because the school was unhygienic but because of the online classes and the grade booster exams they did after canceling the a levels. the drama teacher didn't care about creativity or acting only cared about doing what the curriculum told them to do. the english teacher was quite aggressive with a weird attitude, saying things that would make kids uncomfortable. old history teacher was fired because of an affair they had with a student. the extracurricular activities were quite inadequate as well especially choir, there was favoritism towards one of the older students. the choir had some shows which were all horrible because no one taught any of those kids how to sing. when the school was sold to globeducate new staff came in. a bald guy who was quite strange also had an affair with one of the teachers. very unprofessional teachers the school is like a playground. although sports was quite good i did some sports i never thought id do. sports teachers were good and qualified. the nurse was very kind i don’t know why the other reviews are bashing her she gave me great mental health advice and support she might be one of the few good things about this school! don’t send your kids here they are money oriented not education including the families and students. hope this was enough to answer all your questions.

Some incredible hard working and fantastic teachers who are dedicated and hardworking. There is a very small minority who are not inclusive when it comes to all their students especially when they are new in the more senior years but they have been at the school forever - so it's probably the norm. Facilities and sports are constantly evolving. Students are encouraged to become active members of their communities and to volunteer or participate in community functions. Superb community of dedicated parents and all functions are well planned.

A human scale school with kind and caring teachers. Children gain self-confidence in a positive environment. Beautiful trees all around the school.

Unfortunately the school staff is constantly changing. The quality is not actuality. The courses offered are not up to international modern standards. Math, science, informatiques, business, economic classes are non existent or simply far from up to par. Very disappointed.

Teachers who want to keep very average teaching standards and have an easy life. Bullying and bad language common

4 of the 5 years my teenagers have attended Mougins school were acceptable to poor. This current year we have seen big improvement. Under new management the school should become the amazing 5 star school it should be.

The Mougins School is an amazing place for kids to spend their high school years. If student supply themselves, they will learn and thrive here. Don’t listen to the negative reviews, these people are by and large malcontents who have nothing else to do with their time than put down a fine institution.

I moved here two years ago from the US with my husband and daughter who has since enjoyed two years of happiness in a safe and nurturing environment. She is excited for the next two years of A-levels with smart and interesting friends from all over the world. We are quite fortunate. Our new headmaster has done a stellar job in his first year. Backed by a teaching career in history and drama, followed by several years at the administrative level at international schools, he has an open door policy that both my husband and I have exercised and, as a result, witnessed positive outcomes. Coming from the US where sports are well integrated into the schools, I was surprised by the lack of non-football (soccer) programs. But In France this is not atypical. French families enroll their kids in the extensive village programs. It’s a great way for students to integrate into French society and practice the language. Since my daughter is more reserved and prefers English, I proposed to the school that I start a girls badminton team. With the full support of the administration, the team is up and running and will have their first competition with the nearby international schools next week. Such fun! When we first toured the school a few years ago, I asked a student who happened to be passing by, what he liked most about the school. He responded, “The teachers care and the bathrooms are clean.” How true!

I attended Mougins School from 4 till 15 (I'm now turning 30). I absolutely loved my experience there; it genuinely felt like a family. Independent thought was always encouraged, the environment was incredibly nurturing, and it was set in a really beautiful location. I will always have incredibly fond memories of my time at Mougins.
