It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school operates within the French education system and is part of the AEFE network. For Latvian conformity, it presents the Latvian general education framework and teaching cycles. The curriculum emphasizes languages to think and communicate, including French and a foreign language, with assessment addressing both language mastery and broader knowledge. The four teaching cycles structure pre-elementary, elementary, middle school, and high school.
The school delivers instruction primarily in French, with targeted support for non-French-speaking students. French as a Foreign Language (FLE) and French as a Language of Schooling (FLSCO) are provided in adapted classrooms to help learners acquire French and function in schooling.
The lycee immerses students in a multilingual environment. It can arrange for non-French-speaking children to learn French and participate in regular classes via FLE and FLSCO, with a goal to have all pupils speak French fluently by the end of Primary.
Located in Riga, Lycée Français International Jules Verne de Riga delivers the French national education system within the AEFE network since 2011.

Established in 2007 by the French Embassy, it is managed by APECEF and monitored annually by AEFE inspectors. Facilities include two sites and a daycare service; sports facilities with team sports; swimming via Elektrum Olympic Centre (currently suspended).
