French Curriculum Schools

The French Curriculum follows the programmes established by the French Ministry of National Education, leading to the internationally prestigious French Baccalaureate (Baccalaureat). The system is structured into Maternelle (preschool, ages 3-6), Ecole Elementaire (primary, ages 6-11), College (lower secondary, ages 11-15), and Lycee (upper secondary, ages 15-18). French-curriculum international schools, many operating under the AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad) network, provide a rigorous academic education with strong emphasis on critical thinking, philosophy, and cultural literacy, preparing students for university admission in France and worldwide.
