French Curriculum International Schools in Singapore

Edited by · B2C Marketing Manager

About international schools in Singapore

French-curriculum international schools in Singapore deliver the French national programme (école maternelle, élémentaire, collège, lycée) and generally prepare students for French national examinations such as the baccalauréat; some campuses are AEFE-linked or certified by the French Ministry of Education while others offer French pathways inside broader international schools. Instruction is usually principally in French, though many schools provide bilingual French - English streams or integration with IB/other international programmes, and schools publish detailed fee schedules that include GST, registration charges and termly billing. As with most Singapore international schools, the academic year is organised around a September (or August - September) start and places - especially in popular year groups - can fill early, so families typically begin enquiries and applications many months ahead. Relocating parents should budget not only for headline tuition but also for enrolment deposits, transport, meals and possible Student’s Pass/visas, and check a school’s accreditation, language support and pastoral arrangements before committing.

FAQs for Singapore

What curriculum will my child follow at a French-curriculum school in Singapore?
Most schools follow the French national curriculum (maternelle → élémentaire → collège → lycée) and prepare students for French national qualifications such as the baccalauréat; some campuses are part of the global AEFE network or are certified by the French education authorities, while other international schools simply offer a French-stream or bilingual pathway alongside IB or Cambridge options.
What ages and stages does the French system cover and how do they map to international year groups?
The French system is organised as nursery/preschool (école maternelle, typically from age 3), primary (élémentaire, about 6 - 11), lower secondary (collège, about 11 - 15) and upper secondary (lycée, about 15 - 18); schools usually explain how these map to international grades and will place children by age and level of prior attainment.
How much do French-curriculum schools in Singapore typically cost?
Tuition for full-programme international schools in Singapore typically ranges from roughly S$14,000 to more than S$47,000 a year depending on age and curriculum, and French-curriculum campuses publish their own fee schedules that also show application fees, enrolment deposits and termly charges; GST and additional line items such as meals, transport and examination fees are commonly billed separately.
Is teaching entirely in French, or will my child be taught in English as well?
Instruction in French-curriculum schools is primarily in French, but many schools run bilingual streams (French - English) or an English-language international stream in the early years and primary phases, and they also offer additional modern languages; the balance of languages varies by campus and year group, so check each school’s language policy and support for learners new to French.
When should we apply and what is the admissions rhythm to expect?
The main intake for most international and French-curriculum schools aligns with the start of the academic year (around August - September) and schools publish term calendars and re-enrolment windows well in advance; because popular year groups fill quickly, families are commonly advised to begin enquiries and submit applications several months - often six to twelve months - before the intended start date.
What practical checks should relocating families make before choosing a French school in Singapore?
Ask for the full, current fee schedule (including one-off enrolment charges and refundable deposits), confirm the school’s accreditation or links to AEFE/French authorities, review language-support and transition provision for non-French speakers, and check visa or Student’s Pass requirements for children who are not Dependant’s Pass or LTVP holders.
