New building for International School under way
The development of the International School has reached another important milestone with the construction of the new building now well underway.
The school, currently with 212 students and 80 teachers and administrative personnel, is still hosted by the Lycée des Iscles, but that will change at the beginning of the new school year, when part of the new school will be completed.
The construction site, about 8 hectares in total, is located in the "Chanteprunier" district of Manosque, at walking distance from the Lycée des Iscles.
The first stone was laid in September 2008 and the first buildings will be ready by September 2009. At that time the primary school, administration, and the canteen will move to the new buildings. In January 2010, the nursery school will follow and in September 2010, ready for the new school year, both the junior high school and high school will also join, and all International School students will finally be under the same roof.
