French Curriculum International Schools in Canada

French-curriculum international schools in Canada teach the French national programme (maternelle through lycée) and many are either homologated or partnered with France’s AEFE network, which supports continuity with the French baccalauréat. These schools commonly deliver most lessons in French while offering strong daily English instruction and additional languages, and they are concentrated in major cities such as Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver and Calgary. Tuition varies by school and grade but examples from the network show annual fees running from the low-to-mid five-figures at some AEFE lycées to well above CAD 30,000 at larger independent bilingual day schools; families should budget additionally for application/enrolment charges, exams and extracurricular costs. Main admissions intake is for the September school year with application windows and assessment dates in the autumn and winter, though some schools accept mid-year entry depending on space and language level, so relocating families should start enquiries several months before their arrival.
