An educational system that combines success and pleasure

 

The EFIS provides the fundamental lessons of the official French programs taught parts in French, parts in English, to which other subjects can be added with Sishya depending on the level of the students in English.

 

For the 2022-2023 academic year, the pupils of all levels of the EFIS are grouped together in a single class under the responsibility of several teachers who intervene at all levels in several disciplines.

 

The students thus learn to gain autonomy and organize themselves. The older ones can tutor the younger ones on an ad hoc basis and gain in responsibility, the younger ones benefit from the emulation created by the presence of the older students.

 

 

Primary: Accredited school, direct teaching, direct evaluation by teachers.

Secondary: evaluation by the CNED: registration required. The teachers teach all subjects in direct lessons and with the educational documents provided when registering with the CNED in the full regulated program.

This formula makes possible the obtention of the official recognition of the pupils schooling and prepares them for the French examinations in liaison with the French school of Pondicherry.

 

 

Inclusion of students with little or no French speaking

Students who need support in French benefit from courses in the Français Langue Etrangère/Scolaire (FLE/Sco) program.

 

For non-French-speaking students, EFIS courses are first taught in English, then French is introduced gradually.
