Curriculum details	Curriculum details Complete French Curriculum: EFI welcomes students from nursery (3 years old) and delivers the official program of the French Ministry of Education and prepares students to pass the brevet and the French baccalaureate. International Language Certifications: The EFI academic curriculum is supplemented by a language program guiding students toward trilingualism (French, English, Arabic) and leads them to prepare, as of the end of primary, the main international language certifications (Cambridge, IELTS, DELE, HSK, CIMA). A gateway program for non Francophone students: The Passerelle program is designed for two categories of students: non French-speaking students educated in a foreign educational system will take accelerated courses in FLE (French as a Foreign Language), starting in Grande Section; students who do not have the necessary English skills to follow the 50-50 French-English curriculum will take accelerated EFL (English as a Foreign Language) courses to bring them up to speed in English, starting in first grade.	Curriculum details The school teaches the national French curriculum and offers bilingual French-English sections in addition to standard language tracks. The bilingual section is available from the moyenne section and teaches parts of the French curriculum in English, in addition to language and literature courses. This program is designed to ensure students become perfectly bilingual in French and English and to enable them to switch between languages with ease. The school follows the traditional French education cycles: Maternelle (ages 2–6), Élémentaire (ages 6–11), Collège (ages 11–15) and Lycée (ages 15–18), with the Brevet diploma at the end of collège and the Baccalauréat at the end of lycée. The school is accredited by the French Ministry of Education as an AEFE partner and is part of the Globeducate network.
