Monaco's education system

Monaco's education system is highly centralized and offers a bilingual curriculum primarily in French and English, with options for Italian and other languages. It provides free, compulsory education from ages 6 to 16, including kindergarten through middle school, with a strong emphasis on academic excellence and cultural integration. The system includes public schools, international schools, and vocational training centers. Higher education is limited locally, with many students pursuing university degrees abroad, often in France or other European countries. The government ensures quality education, fostering multilingual skills and preparing students for global opportunities while maintaining Monaco’s cultural heritage.
