Early 70s:
•
•
“Le Gouvernement français portera une attention particulière aux problèmes posés par […] la scolarisation des enfants. ” (Maurice Schumann,
French Foreign Minister)
“Along with this expansion came, […] a need to attract talented people from all over Europe to ‘uproot’ their families and work on these
exciting new projects. The lack of schooling options had already been recognised by Council as ‘hindrance’ to recruitment, and a ‘hardship’
to many families, […] when the French delegation to Council made known its Government’s intention of establishing, after consultation with
the Organization, a school near the Laboratory to meet the educational needs of children of different nationalities and all ages.” (CERN/3097)
1973
•
“Les autorités françaises et le CERN sont convenus que les dispositions étudiées en matière d'enseignement auraient à répondre aux objectifs
suivants:
•
assurer, au niveau des enseignements primaire et secondaire, les besoins scolaires des enfants des titulaires et des visiteurs, résidant en
France ou en Suisse, quelle que soit la durée de leur séjour;
•
offrir à tous les enfants non francophones, quelle que soit leur nationalité, des conditions équivalentes en matière d'éducation;
•
assurer la continuité de l'éducation des enfants afin de permettre un déroulement normal de leur scolarité, que celle-ci s'achève en France
ou dans leur pays d'origine.” (CERN/1101)

please note that
•
children of CERN members of the personnel have a high priority at the school
•
you should not confuse the administration there with – probably well meant –
sentences like “I will come to CERN on a sabbatical and I don’t have a
residence yet in the area”
•
CERN cannot intervene in person-specific cases
you can find a comprehensive report in CERN/3097, given at the
CERN Council in December 2013 at the occasion of the 40th
anniversary of the international schooling option
