About international schools in Colombia

French-curriculum international schools in Colombia are typically AEFE-homologated Lycées and related institutions that deliver the French national curriculum and prepare students for the French Baccalauréat, with campuses mainly in Bogotá and Medellín as well as smaller sites elsewhere. Instruction is delivered primarily in French, while Spanish is taught as the local language and English (and sometimes a third language) is commonly offered; many schools also run bilingual francophone streams and prepare students for language certifications such as the DELF. Fees and billing models differ by school: families normally pay an annual registration fee plus recurring tuition that schools publish each year, and the total cost is broadly comparable with other private international schools in Colombia. Admissions and calendars are school-specific; parents should expect an online pre-registration, possible language testing or interview for some ages, and to apply several months before the intake because places and entry assessments vary between schools.

FAQs for Colombia

What curriculum do French international schools in Colombia follow and what diploma do students receive?
These schools teach the French national curriculum as organised by the French Ministry of Education and, when homologated, prepare students for the French Baccalauréat. Homologated schools are part of the AEFE network and follow French programmes and assessment structures that allow transfers within the network and access to French higher-education pathways.
Which languages will my child learn and what is the language of instruction?
The primary language of instruction is French; schools also teach Spanish as the local language and typically offer English as a foreign language (some offer additional modern languages). Many institutions run bilingual francophone streams and present students for recognised language certificates such as DELF/DALF during their schooling.
How much do these schools cost and how are fees charged?
Tuition models vary by institution: most charge a one-off registration or enrolment fee and recurring tuition (often invoiced monthly or by term), with additional charges for materials, school trips and extracurricular services. Exact amounts differ widely between schools and are set annually by each school’s governing association, so families should request the current fee schedule from any school they are considering.
When should we start the admissions process and what does it usually involve?
Admissions timetables are set by each school but families typically start pre-registration several months before the intended start date; popular year groups can have waiting lists. The process commonly includes submission of school records, an interview with parents and/or the child, and age-appropriate language or placement testing - check the school’s admissions page for precise deadlines and required documents.
Will a French Baccalauréat be recognised for university entry in Colombia?
Colombian universities accept international secondary diplomas including the French Baccalauréat, though administrative convalidation or document checks with the receiving university or the Ministry of Education may be required. If you plan to study in Colombia after graduation, contact the university admissions office early to confirm their specific requirements for foreign diplomas and any convalidation steps.
