AEFE Accreditation (Agence pour l’enseignement français à l’étranger)
LFAY is officially accredited by the AEFE, the French government agency responsible for French schools abroad. This accreditation confirms that the school delivers the French national curriculum and prepares students for officially recognised French qualifications including the Diplôme National du Brevet and the Baccalauréat.
French Ministry of National Education
As an AEFE-accredited institution, LFAY is recognised by the French Ministry of National Education, meaning the school applies national pedagogical standards and follows the official French programmes from Maternelle to Terminale. This ensures curriculum continuity for students transferring to or from schools in France and other AEFE schools worldwide.
LFAY does not publish any awards received by the school.
