French-curriculum international schools in China teach the French national education programme and many are part of, or follow standards set by, the French overseas school network; they prepare pupils for the French baccalauréat and use French as the core language of instruction. Most schools also offer strengthened English and Mandarin teaching and run bilingual or international sections so families can choose a pathway with more English or more Chinese alongside French. Annual costs vary by city, campus and grade - in large cities such as Shanghai published tuition for established French schools commonly sits in the roughly CNY 100,000 - 200,000 per year range, with separate one-off registration and capital/construction charges and additional fees for transport and optional services. Admissions are commonly managed with a published re-enrolment and application cycle for the next academic year (many schools publish places in autumn) but many accept new pupils during the year if places are available; schools will ask for passports, visa/permit and previous school records as part of the file.
