French international School in Shanghai
If you take your French kids to Shanghai – do not worry about the education opportunities they will meet in this multicultural city. The French School of Shanghai (Lycée Francais de Shanghai) is an excellent alternative for every French-speaking expat who wants his or her child to be a part of a French-speaking community.
The school is divided into two different campuses:
– One in Pudong (”other side of the river”)
– One in the Qingpu District (very close to what is called ”the city centre”)
All of the students in the school are between 3 and 18 years old, which also means that the school has a kindergarten for the youngest children. The French school is administrated by the French Government trough something called “Agency for French Teaching Abroad”. This is one of few schools that are French and government driven outside the French mainland.
