Introduction

The Lycée Français International d'Ibiza is a French AEFE-affiliated school for ages 3–18 on a 24,000‑m2 campus in Can Llambies, Ibiza. It teaches the French national curriculum and prepares students for the Baccalauréat from 2nde (three years: 2nde, 1ère, Terminale). Since 2021 the path is modular, with a common core and three specialties chosen from twelve; five are taught directly: Mathematics; Economic and Social Sciences; Languages, Literatures and Foreign Cultures (English, Contemporary World); Physics–Chemistry, with other specialties via CNED. The ADN-AEFE exchange program enables two students per year to study at AEFE partner schools. PARLE strengthens foreign-language learning with multiple options; EMILE/DNL models are used when appropriate. The campus hosts 31 nationalities and delivers strong results in DNB and the baccalaureate (100% pass, high mentions). Extracurriculars include a weekly garden program, a Ludothèque, arts and language projects, poetry recitals, and the KIVA wellbeing initiative, along with multilingual engagement across activities.

Fees

Annual tuition at Lycée Français International d'Ibiza ranges from EUR 4,600 to EUR 6,266 for 2026/27.

Application / registration fees
- First-time registration (one‑off) fee: EUR 676 (paid at initial enrolment; non‑refundable as a rule).
- Re‑registration: a reduced re‑registration deposit is required each year at the time and amount indicated by the school; failure to pay the re‑registration deposit by the announced deadline jeopardises the pupil's place.

Tuition fees by year group (annual and monthly billing presentation)
- Maternelle (TPS / PS / MS / GS): EUR 5,590 per year; EUR 559 per month (payment by monthly direct debit over the school billing period).
- Élémentaire (CP → CM2): amount within the school's published scale (example midpoint levels shown in the school tariff table); typical annual tuition at the establishment falls between EUR 5,590 and EUR 6,250 depending on the exact year group. Monthly equivalents are the annual amount divided according to the school's billing plan (monthly direct debit).
- Collège (6ème → 3ème): part of the same published scale; annual tuition amounts fall into the upper part of the range up to EUR 6,250 depending on year group. Monthly equivalents follow the school billing plan.
- Lycée (Seconde → Terminale): up to EUR 6,250 per year; monthly equivalent shown under the school's monthly billing option.

Notes on tuition presentation
- Published tuition figures are annual amounts set by academic cycle/year group; the school issues invoices and collects payments under the billing schedule described below. Exact annual fees for each specific class/year are published in the school's current tariff table.

Other compulsory or regularly charged items

- Optional services and extras: transport, extracurricular activities, specific trips, language certification preparation, and certain activities are charged separately and must be paid in addition to tuition.
- Uniform: no mandatory uniform fee is specified in the school financial regulation or the published tariffs; material and equipment costs are listed separately as above.

Discounts and sibling reductions

These reductions do not apply to ancillary services (meals, transport, activities).

- Early‑payment discount: a 3% discount on the total annual tuition is applied if the full annual tuition is paid in advance before the school's published deadline (example: before 5 September for the relevant academic year).

Refund and withdrawal policy
- Tuition and registration payments are generally non‑refundable. The financial regulation states that fees already paid for registration and tuition will not be refunded at the request of families. If a family withdraws a pupil during the school year they must give one month's written notice and remain liable for the tuition for the full current quarter (term) as defined by the school billing rules.

Boarding / residential provision

Academics

Lycée Français International d'Ibiza teaches French Curriculum for students aged 3 to 18.

Curriculum

The Lycée Français International d'Ibiza follows the French national curriculum and prepares students for the Baccalauréat from the 2nde year, with three years of study in 2nde, 1ère and Terminale. The 2021 reform replaced the traditional L, ES and S streams with a modular track; students follow a common core and choose three specialty subjects from twelve offered. The school directly teaches five specialties: Mathematics; Economic and Social Sciences; Languages, Literatures and Foreign Cultures (English, Contemporary World); Physics-Chemistry. Other specialties may be studied through CNED with a supervising teacher. The ADN-AEFE program enables two students per year to undertake an exchange with another AEFE partner school. Language learning is reinforced through PARLE language pathways, with options including German, English, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Vietnamese, and EMILE/DNL approaches are used to teach subjects in a foreign language when appropriate.

Exam Results

Baccalauréat - Class of 2025: 100% success; 100% with a mention; 37% with a very good mention. Diplôme National du Brevet - Class of 2025: 0% success; 100% with a mention; 39% with a very good mention. Certificat de langues - Class of 2025: Trinity College (English): 0%; DELF B1 and B2: 0%. The school prepares students for English language certifications; English courses begin in kindergarten and lead to an excellent level (B2 minimum); some students arrive not speaking French and leave with excellent command of French, with an objective of reaching level C1.

Higher Education Progression

Orientation is designed to help students build a personal and professional project as part of the PARCOURS AVENIR for students from the sixth grade to terminale. The school runs activities around orientation, including a Higher Education Forum (in Barcelona), a Career Forum on site, conferences and thematic workshops (in Barcelona), and information sessions with students and families (entretiens with the homeroom teacher and then the Principal). Resources are available at the Espace Orientation in the Centre de Connaissance et de Culture (3C).

Gifted and Talented

The school provides an inclusive approach for students with educational needs, including intellectually precocious students. It details procedures for inclusion such as a PA I (Individualized Support Plan), PAP (Personalized Support Plan for dys), PPS (Personalized Schooling Plan), and PPRE (Personalized Remedial Support Program), with steps including initial contact with school leaders, assessing the student's autonomy, and designing adapted learning pathways, plus potential financial support where applicable.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Le bien-devenir is a continuous process of personal growth and well-being that guides each student toward a harmonious future. It encompasses physical and mental well-being, the development of skills, emotional growth, and the realization of future personal and professional projects. The school supports this path with a nurturing environment, targeted supports, and attention to values and priorities. Students are encouraged to adopt well-being practices and to envision a calm and rewarding future.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school welcomes students with special educational needs and implements an inclusive approach. AEFE foreign schools abroad do not have dedicated specialized reception structures, so the focus is on inclusive pathways that best meet each student's needs. The approach is grounded in French law (the 2005 law on equality of rights and opportunities, and the 2013 law on education reform) and AEFE's framework for inclusive schooling. A student is considered to have special educational needs if they have chronic illness, dys disorders, are intellectually precocious, have a disability, or face significant learning or adaptation difficulties. The reception process involves initial contact with school leadership, defining the student's autonomy, and implementing adapted schooling pathways using MENESR guides (PAI, PAP, PPS, PPRE); documents are signed and shared among all involved. Families may request support from the relevant authorities (MDPH) for French nationals, and there may be financial assistance to cover certain supports or equipment.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The PARLE language pathways aim to strengthen language training and the mastery of at least one foreign language beyond the host language. These pathways can be offered in German, English, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Vietnamese. A move to an existing international section, bilingual section, or SELO can be possible from the Seconde year. In addition to regular language hours, teaching in the chosen language may be provided as EMILE (teaching a subject in a foreign language) in early years or as DNL (discipline non linguistique) in secondary years.

Mental Wellbeing

Mental wellbeing is embedded in the Le bien-devenir concept, which emphasizes emotional development and well-being practices as part of the student's growth and future planning. The approach supports students in developing resilience and emotional balance within a supportive environment.

Safeguarding

To guarantee the well-being and safety of every pupil, the school has established safeguarding protocols, including a Minor Protection Protocol and a Harassment Protocol, designed to prevent, support, and respond to concerns.

Scholarships

The school offers scholarships. The first scholarship campaign for 2025/2026 will begin soon.
