Education offered at the LIF The LIF follows the educational programs set up by the French Ministry of National Education. From kindergarten to grade 12, in-class teaching is provided by teachers tenured in the French National Education system. The LIF receives technical and financial support from the French government. It is also part of the Agency for French Education Abroad (Agence pour l’enseignement français à l’étranger – AEFE) and of the network of French Schools in Asia. As the LIF is accredited by the French Ministry of National Education, its teaching team is highly qualified, and students are guaranteed to benefit from high-standard educational methods in keeping with French programs.

Bilingual education Bilingual classes (half French, half English) are classes where English is used half of the time by English-speaking teachers, while a French-speaking teacher teaches the other half of the time, based on the program established by the French Ministry of National Education.
The classes provided in English in kindergarten follow the French curriculum. However, from grade 1 (CP) onwards, the curriculum is based on both the French and British programs.

Since 2008, a French-English bilingual class is offered to four-year olds (moyenne section). A bilingual section was also open for five-year olds (grande section) in 2009, while a grade 1 (CP) bilingual class will be opened in 2010, and so on until the primary bilingual network is complete (2013).

Enriched English classes English classes are part of the curriculum for three-year olds (petite section). At the primary and high school levels, English is taught in small groups based on the students’ knowledge of English.  In addition, some non-linguistic subjects are taught in English, including physical education, geography, history, and sciences. Starting in secondary 1, students are enrolled in the European section and can work towards the English European mention at the baccalaureate (grade 12). Students become very quickly comfortable in English as they have a number of opportunities each day to sharpen their English skills: integrated school yards, breaks, lunches, extracurricular activities, libraries...

Which languages are spoken in the schoolyard ? Students 3 to 18 years old mostly speak French. However, English is often heard. English-speaking friends start conversations in this language and generate interest in reading in English. With the help of Indonesian-speaking students, everyone very quickly learns to communicate. All three languages naturally coexist. German, Spanish, and Italian words are often heard as well! More discrete perhaps, Chinese and Slavic students prefer to use these languages at home or in class.

Learning choices in high-school A second language option is offered in grade 8 (4e): German, Spanish, or Mandarin. Other options may also be learnt and tested at the baccalaureate: Indonesian (from Secondary 1), Latin (from Secondary 2), and Theater (from grade 9). Students may choose between two baccalaureate sections: ES and S, all specializations.

Linguistic support for non-French-speaking students French literacy support is available for students from partially or non-francophone families who join the French system of education.
These specialized French classes allow students to reinforce their language skills and facilitate their integration to the class. These students eventually communicate better, more quickly, and are able to follow the proposed curriculum. French support classes are provided by specialized teachers.

A window on Indonesia Throughout their education, students are encouraged to engage in intercultural projects on Indonesia and on the multicultural society of our host country, including in arts, sports, and humanitarian projects.

Extracurricular activities The 30 clubs within the LIF Clubs Committee offer a broad choice of sportive and cultural activities provided in small groups, in French or English.
