No, you are confusing “prep class”, which prepare to engineer/business school/university, with business school itself.

Business school is like a University , but private and expensive. It’s higher education (Master degree)

damn, I thought my idea was original. Thanks for the feedback

yes, in France, in business schools, they definitely teach Chinese, as a choice, not mandatory.

I believe it is also possible to take Chinese classes during high school , again as a “3rd language option”, after English and /Spanish / German

I did do about 11h drive, from Reims to Nice; wouldn’t do it twice :/
