French Curriculum International Schools in Beirut, Lebanon

French-curriculum schools in Beirut are generally rooted in the French national education system and many operate under formal agreements with French networks (AEFE, Mission Laïque Française or AFLEC), which keeps programmes aligned with France’s curriculum while some schools also run a dual French - Lebanese track. Instruction is predominantly in French, with Arabic taught as a required language from the early years and English commonly introduced and strengthened through primary and secondary levels. Fees are usually split between a dollarised contribution and a Lebanese-pound component, with published examples showing US-dollar portions commonly in the low thousands alongside significant LBP amounts, and one-time registration or development charges are typical. Admissions follow the Lebanese school calendar with a September intake; many schools open pre-registration or publish places and financial regulations in late winter to spring for the following school year, so relocating families should allow time for assessment tests, document translation and deposit payments before the new term.
