About international schools in Romania

French-curriculum international schools in Romania are schools that teach to the French national curriculum and typically prepare pupils for the French Baccalauréat; some are conventionné and listed in the AEFE network while others are private French-language schools or trilingual projects. Instruction is usually mainly in French, with English taught from early years and Romanian taught as the host-country language; many schools also offer a second modern language such as German or Spanish. Annual tuition commonly sits in the mid-four-figure euro range and varies by level and by nationality category (the Lycée’s published schedules show different rates for French/EU versus other nationalities), with additional one-off registration and exam fees and optional costs for transport, meals and extracurriculars. Admissions follow the school year cycle (intake for the new school year in September), with places allocated after an application review and, where needed, language/placement tests - families relocating from abroad are advised to start enquiries several months ahead because popular year groups and secondary places can fill quickly.

FAQs for Romania

What curriculum and diploma do French schools in Romania follow?
Most French-curriculum schools in Romania follow the programmes of the French Ministry of National Education and prepare students for the French Baccalauréat; AEFE-conventionné schools explicitly follow the French national curriculum and maintain equivalence with schools in France. This means pupils who stay in the system can follow a continuous route from maternelle through to terminale leading to a French diploma recognised by universities internationally.
Which languages are used for teaching and is Romanian compulsory?
Teaching is predominantly in French, with English normally offered from the early years and additional modern languages (German, Spanish, etc.) as options; many French schools in Romania also include Romanian as a compulsory subject or as a taught language because of host-country requirements. Schools publish their language offer and the level at which Romanian becomes obligatory, so check each school’s language policy if local-language study is important for your child.
How much does it cost to attend a French international school in Romania?
Published fee schedules at established French schools show annual tuition commonly in the roughly €7,500 - €11,300 range depending on age/level and nationality category (French/EU rates are often lower than ‘other nationality’ rates), plus non-refundable registration or first-enrolment fees and separate exam, catering or transport charges. Smaller or newer private French schools follow a similar band for early years and primary; always request the school’s full fees grid and see which items (meals, transport, activities, exam fees) are included or billed separately.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process look like?
Admissions work on the school-year calendar with the main intake for the new year in September; schools typically ask families to submit an application, school reports and identity documents, and many run placement or language assessments before confirming a place. Some schools charge a non-refundable application or administration fee and operate waiting lists for popular year groups, so begin enquiries and submit documents several months before your planned move, especially if you require a visa or need a specific secondary pathway.
What ages and stages are available - will my child be able to stay until the baccalauréat?
Several French schools in Romania provide continuity from maternelle (pre-school) through élémentaire and collège to lycée (senior secondary), enabling a student to complete the French pathway up to the baccalauréat; other newer or smaller schools may offer only early years and primary at first and plan to expand their secondary provision. If continuity to terminale is important, check whether the school currently teaches all grades in-house or uses distance/partnership arrangements for upper years.
What should parents check when choosing a French school in Romania?
Look for formal recognition or convention with AEFE or stated approval by the French ministry, the school’s published programme and examination outcomes, its language-support provisions for non-French speakers, and the full fees and extra costs (registration, exam and transport). Also confirm practical matters such as class sizes, pastoral and language support for recent arrivals, school hours and transport options, and how the school handles transfers back to a French school or into other national systems.
