French Academics at Windfield International School

At Windfield International School, we are proud to offer a fully accredited French curriculum pathway in partnership with the AEFE (Agence pour l’enseignement français à l’étranger). This programme follows the official standards of the French Ministry of Education and ensures that learners benefit from a globally recognised, bilingual, and multicultural education.

The French system is structured into clear stages – Maternelle, Élémentaire, Collège, and Lycée – each designed to build progressively on the previous level. Learners are guided from early childhood through to the Diplôme National du Brevet (DNB) at the end of the lower secondary and ultimately to the Baccalauréat, the internationally recognised French high school diploma.
