Linguistic and sports courses
Linguistic and Sports Programs at LFIGP
Conformément aux objectifs de l’AEFE, la promotion de l’éducation plurilingue est au cœur de notre projet éducatif.
Notre école met l’accent sur l’enseignement du français tout en l’intégrant harmonieusement avec l’apprentissage d’autres langues vivantes, dans le but de former des élèves plurilingues, ouverts à la diversité culturelle.
La pédagogie mise en place vise à renforcer la maîtrise d’au moins trois langues, en plus du français, afin de préparer nos élèves au mieux à leurs études supérieures, à leurs projets professionnels et à leur futur de citoyens dans un monde globalisé. Dans cette optique, notre programme soutient l’apprentissage des langues anglaise, arabe, allemande et espagnole.
Given the local context, our school offers English language pathways tailored to the needs and ambitions of students, families, and teaching teams.
Sports studies at LFIGP
Le LFIGP s’engage également à offrir un éventail de parcours sportifs, permettant aux élèves de développer leurs compétences physiques et de participer à des activités sportives tout au long de leur scolarité.
Nous proposons des parcours spécifiques en football et natation, disponibles dès le CM1 et qui se poursuivent jusqu’en Première. Ces parcours sont conçus pour favoriser l’épanouissement des élèves dans un environnement sportif stimulant et inclusif.
The goal is to allow each student to commit to a sport and cultivate essential values such as teamwork, perseverance, and discipline.
These sports activities perfectly integrate into our broader educational approach, enhancing the preparation of our students for a balanced and dynamic future.
A L’ÉCOLE MATERNELLE
The Lycée Français International Georges Pompidou (LFIGP) offers diverse linguistic pathways tailored to each level of the Kindergarten School, providing children with a rich multilingual environment.
Petite Section (PS)
In the Petite Section, students join the Section Internationale Français Renforcé (SIFR) from their first year. This pathway allows them to follow the French National Education program while benefiting from 3 hours of English per week, thus providing early exposure to a foreign language.

In Moyenne Section, students who have acquired sufficient proficiency in French may join the Section Internationale Anglais Renforcé (SIAR), which includes more hours of English.
The second pathway offered, similar to PS, is the Section Internationale Français Renforcé (SIFR), with 4 hours and 30 minutes of English per week.
All students in Moyenne Section also start learning Arabic with 45 minutes of instruction per week, broadening their linguistic horizon.
Tous les élèves de Moyenne Section découvrent également l’arabe avec 45 minutes d’enseignement par semaine, élargissant ainsi leur horizon linguistique.
Grande Section (GS)
The pathways in Grande Section are similar to those in Moyenne Section. All students continue learning Arabic, with 1 hour and 30 minutes per week, further strengthening their linguistic skills.
These linguistic pathways aim to enable each child to thrive in a multilingual environment, offering them a solid foundation for their academic and cultural future.

British international section
Starting in 6th grade, students in the British International Section receive additional instruction in English literature (4 hours per week) and a foreign language (2 hours per week).
History and geography are taught partly in English (1.5 hours per week out of 3 hours).
At the end of 6th grade, a placement test is held, and a B1 level is required to join the international section in 5th grade.
The middle school curriculum culminates in the DNBi!
In 10th grade, students will take the IGCSE exams and, at the end of the year, choose between:
