French Curriculum (International)
A single French national programme from maternelle to the baccalauréat, recognised worldwide and built for internationally mobile families — most students in the network are not even French.

Key Stages
AEFE schools follow the same French national programme worldwide — from maternelle at age 3 to the baccalauréat — across 612 accredited schools in 138 countries (AEFE, 2025), making curriculum handover more predictable when families relocate.
Early-years cycle, with compulsory instruction from age 3.
Primary school covering core literacy, numeracy, sciences, humanities, arts, and languages.
Four-year lower-secondary cycle ending with the Diplôme national du brevet.
Three-year upper-secondary pathway, from seconde to première and terminale, ending with the baccalauréat.
Why Families Choose It
Three reasons the French pathway suits internationally mobile families — not just French ones.
Sections internationales are offered in around 15 languages across the network, with anglophone sections the most common, followed by Arabic (AEFE, 2026). The Bac Français International, a bilingual baccalauréat track, recorded a 99.2% pass rate in June 2026 (AEFE, 2026).
Around two-thirds of students in the AEFE network are not French (AEFE, 2025). Many schools admit non-francophone children and may provide FLSco small-group French support.
The baccalauréat is graded out of 20, with 10 required to pass and mentions from 12, 14, and 16 (Code de l'éducation, 2026). AEFE describes the diploma as internationally recognised and comparable to A-Levels.
