Kylian Mbappe is one of the biggest superstars in soccer. The on-the-field abilities of the French superstar are always admired, but his articulated interviews off the field have raised some queries about his educational background.
As per public records, there is no record that Kylian Mbappé has attended any college. The French superstar completed his schooling in 2016 with a Bac STMG (Management and Management Sciences and Technologies) but there is no record that he opted for higher studies.
As for the background, Kylian Mbappe was raised in Paris by parents who both have athletic backgrounds. His father, Wilfrid Mbappé was a former professional soccer player and coach. Meanwhile, his mother, Fayza Lamari was a former handball player.
The parents knew the importance of learning different languages for their son, Kylian. Therefore, through his schooling, Kylian Mbappé focused on learning English as well as Spanish. As a child, Mbappe went to a Catholic school in Bondy, the place where he grew up.
