FRENCH EDUCATION ABROAD

The “Agence pour l’Enseignement Français à l’Etranger” (Agency for French Education Abroad), an operator of the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, manages and supports a network of 580 schools in 139 countries. This network welcomes more than 392,000 pupils, to whom it guarantees access to educational excellence across the world. Unique in its scope and density, as well as in its unity, guaranteed by the approval granted and verified by the Ministry of National Education, Youth and Sports, the network of French Sixth Forms abroad is one of the key players in France’s external action.

The AEFE reconciles the provision of a public education service for French expatriate families with the promotion of our language, our culture and the values of French education by opening itself up to foreign pupils. The AEFE has therefore implemented an innovative educational policy in keeping with the curriculum of the French Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, while also being open to the language and culture of the host country.

By enrolling your children in an accredited French educational institution, you are opting for educational excellence for all. This means opting for a multilingual education and exposing them to multiple cultures. This also means surrounding them in a culture of autonomy, reflection and social commitment, knowing how to live together and training them for citizenship. In conjunction with French diplomatic posts, this model can be adapted to the local people and context, in compliance with local regulations.
