Lycee Francais International Charles de Gaulle

French excellence and a global mindset are at the heart of our DNA. From kindergarten to terminale, we welcome more than 900 students from 50 different countries. We educate them with the aim of obtaining the French brevet and the baccalauréat diplomas. Our educational program is accredited by the French Ministry of National Education and our institution belongs to the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), a network of nearly 500 schools in more than 130 countries.

We make every effort to ensure that students are studying in the best possible setting. The quality of teaching is enhanced by extracurricular cultural and sports activities and fueled by a nutritious and balanced diet offered by the cafeteria. The presence of two nurses also contributes to the well-being and health of students, while our buses provide safe transportation between home and school, serving more than 50 residential compounds.

Language learning from an early age to instill a global mindset is one of our priorities. In addition to French as the main language of instruction, Chinese and English are taught starting at the age of four, followed by Spanish or German from the age of 12. Every student has the option of customizing their language learning experience through international sections in English and Chinese to prepare for the international option of the baccalauréat, or according to their higher education goals in France and abroad.

Our school is open to everyone, including students with little or no French language proficiency. We integrate each new student according to language level and needs in consultation with their parents and the teaching team. According to their individual syllabus, a child may benefit from anywhere between one to five hours of French as a second language class per week to accompany their regular class schedule.

LFIP kindergarten teaching enhances the development of the students’ personality and stimulates sensory, motor, cognitive as well as social development. It develops students “self-esteem” and esteem of others and helps children thrive emotionally. Through Kindergarten, we strive to grow, in each of our children, the desire and the pleasure of learning.  Kindergarten prepares children for basic learning in elementary school and teaches them the principles of life in society. The LFIP offers students a caring, safe, plural, fun and open to the world, which promotes self-confidence, trust of others and in the future. To carry out our mission, we provide students with:

• A team of graduated and continuously trained teachers with significant teaching experience
• Specific educational staff: one full-time assistant in each class
• Quality infrastructure: adapted classrooms, rest rooms for the youngest, sports and recreational facilities (motricity room, outdoor playground), dedicated dining room and library
