OUR CURRICULUM

Lycée Français de Séoul (LFS) welcomes students of all nationalities from the age of 3 and provides schooling in all levels from PS (First year of Kindergarten) to Terminale (grade 12)

All levels are accredited by the French Ministry of National Education, a guarantee that the education provided conforms to the French curriculum. Throughout their schooling, students study French, languages, mathematics and science, humanities and social sciences, sports and art. They acquire knowledge, methods and tools; they build skills and ethics; they develop a vision for their future.

A CYCLE-BASED EDUCATION SYSTEM

As of Kindergarten, the French education system is structured in three-year cycles, enabling students to develop skills at their own pace and according to their needs with a guarantee of pedagogical continuity from one level to the next. Its articulation around a common core of 5 skills provides a rich and multidisciplinary education.

The 2018 – 2021 school project elaborated by LFS has set as priorities the development of each individual and openness to the world.
