Schools in Mont-Boron: primary, middle and high school close to home

Nursery and primary schools

Education directories (annuaire-education.fr, pass-education.fr, accessed 3 October 2026) list several public schools in the Mont-Boron and port area. Two come up consistently:

• École Mont-Boron Alain Péglion, 28 avenue Germaine, 06300 Nice
• École élémentaire Terra Amata, 2 corniche André de Joly, 06300 Nice
• Other nearby schools mentioned in the directories for the area: Bischoffsheim, Max Gallo, Merle

This list is not the school catchment map: one street may depend on one school and the next on another. Only Nice city hall is authoritative for a given address.

Middle and high school

For middle school, the directories give Collège Port Lympia, 31 boulevard Stalingrad, 06300 Nice, as the school attached to the Mont-Boron area. For high school, the public offering in the immediate vicinity includes the vocational lycée Les Palmiers (15 avenue Banco). For general and technological streams, placement is then made at the level of the Nice school district, depending on the student's file and choices.

A specialised establishment, the IME Mont-Boron (boulevard du Mont-Boron), is also located on the hill; it does not fall under the standard school catchment system.

Private and international schools

Nice has many private schools (about forty private primary schools in the city according to the enseignement-prive.info directory, accessed 3 October 2026) and the metropolitan area has internationally oriented schools. For foreign families moving in, this is often a decisive criterion: the distance from Mont-Boron should be checked school by school, as journeys go through the city centre.

How to check the catchment for an address

Before signing, proceed in this order: (1) ask for the exact address of the property; (2) contact the education department of Nice city hall, which assigns each street to a school; (3) for middle and high school, consult the services of the Direction des services départementaux de l'Éducation nationale des Alpes-Maritimes; (4) keep written confirmation if schooling is decisive in your choice.

If you are buying on the 8th floor of the Le Vert Boron residence, route Forestière, feel free to ask us for the full address when booking a visit: we will help you with the process. Contact the seller.

And what about children's daily life?

The Mont-Boron forest park and the coastal path offer a rare playground for children, a few minutes' walk from the top of the neighbourhood (see beaches and the coastal path). In return, the slope often means accompanying them by car or electric bike: read our guide to daily life in Mont-Boron.

Questions to ask before buying with schooling in mind

• Is the exact address attached to the school you are aiming for? The catchment applies street by street.
• What daily journey for the child: on foot, by bus, by car? The slopes of Mont-Boron matter, especially for the youngest.
• What about after-school activities and the canteen? Ask the school or city hall.
• Do you want a private or international school? If so, study the journey from the top of the neighbourhood to the school.
• How long do you plan to stay? For a second home, the schooling question does not arise in the same way.
