Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
• Membership of the Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Étranger (AEFE) — the school states it belongs to the AEFE network, which links French curriculum schools abroad and provides administrative, pedagogical and inspection support.
• Homologation by the French Ministry of National Education for its teaching levels and programs — the site says the school follows programmes homologated by the French Ministry, enabling students to sit the Diplôme National du Brevet and the French Baccalauréat (including the Baccalauréat Français International option offered at the school). This homologation means the school's curriculum is formally recognised as matching the French national curriculum for the stated levels.
• Recognition by Chinese authorities as a foreign school — the admissions/registration information on the school website states the LFIP is recognised by the Chinese authorities as a foreign school and describes enrolment rules under Beijing/Chaoyang education regulations; this indicates the school is authorised to operate for non-Chinese (and certain qualified) students under local rules.
Note on staff: the school's site also reports that a large share of teachers hold accreditation/positions with the French Ministry of National Education (three-quarters of teachers are stated to be holders of the French Ministry of National Education or to have 10+ years' experience); that is a staff qualification item reported on the site rather than a separate institutional accreditation.
Lycée Français International Charles de Gaulle de Pékin (LFIPékin) is a French-curriculum school that is part of the AEFE network; it teaches from petite section (maternelle) through terminale and prepares students for the Diplôme National du Brevet, the French Baccalauréat and the Baccalauréat Français International (BFI). The school's website states it operates a new campus and highlights multilingual pathways, including English and Chinese international sections that can lead to the OIB. LFIPékin reports about 800 students from roughly 50 nationalities and lists five teaching languages on its homepage. The school runs regular cultural and arts events (for example the Quinzaine des Arts), offers a web radio and pupil-led bodies (CVL, délégués éco-responsables), and provides an on-site catering service. Transport information on the site describes an organised school-bus service with dedicated routes and safety features. (All items above are taken from the school website.)
