A French school with an international outlook located across two sites in the heart of Amsterdam. We provide a bilingual education in English and French to pupils aged 2-18. As an AEFE-approved school (Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Etranger) and a member of the prestigious Globeducate network, we offer an innovative education which combines the rigour of the French curriculum with linguistic immersion in French and English from preschool, plus additional Dutch language teaching

The International French School of Amsterdam's teaching approach centers on a rigorous bilingual French-English curriculum, immersing students in both languages from preschool through high school. Native-speaking teachers deliver subjects in French and English, enabling students to achieve fluency and a deep cultural understanding by middle school, where they can choose between a British international track or a traditional French track. The school also integrates Dutch language learning and emphasizes pastoral care, inclusivity, and support for students with special educational needs. Beyond academics, the curriculum prioritizes arts, music, sports, and personal development, fostering well-rounded, confident, and globally aware individuals prepared for international higher education and citizenship
