About international schools in Taiwan

French-curriculum international schools in Taiwan are relatively few and largely concentrated in Taipei, where the main options include the French section inside a larger European international school and a small independent AEFE-partnered French lycée. These schools teach the French national curriculum from maternelle through collège and lycée, preparing students for the Brevet and the French Baccalauréat (with some programmes offering international variants), and they commonly combine French-language instruction with significant English and Mandarin provision. Annual costs depend on the school and the child’s age but typically fall in the mid-to-high hundreds of thousands of New Taiwan dollars once tuition, registration and extra fees are counted; newer or smaller establishments sometimes publish lower headline fees. Admissions follow the northern-hemisphere school year with the main intake for new cohorts in August/September, though places do become available mid-year and families should start enquiries several months before their intended start date and check AEFE/French Office scholarship eligibility where applicable.

FAQs for Taiwan

How many French-curriculum schools are there in Taiwan and where are they located?
French-curriculum provision in Taiwan is limited and centred on Taipei rather than spread across many cities; the most visible options are the French section embedded in a European international school and a small independent French lycée that has opened in recent years. Families moving elsewhere in Taiwan who want a full French pathway should expect to consider boarding, remote study options or bilingual alternatives.
What curriculum and qualifications will my child follow and finish with?
These schools deliver the French national curriculum across early years, primary, collège (lower secondary) and lycée (upper secondary), leading to the Diplôme National du Brevet and the French Baccalauréat; some sections also provide international variants or bilateral options depending on the school. The programmes are aligned with the standards used by the Agence pour l'enseignement français à l'étranger (AEFE) for homologation or partnership where applicable.
Which languages are used for teaching and how is Mandarin handled?
Instruction is principally in French across the French section, with English commonly taught as a core additional language and Mandarin/Chinese offered as a curriculum subject or language pathway from early years onwards. Schools usually provide language support for children who join without French, and levels of immersion in Mandarin vary between schools and by age group, so check individual language-provision documents when you visit.
How much should we budget for fees and extra costs?
Tuition and compulsory charges differ by school and by year group, but published fee schedules for established French programmes in Taipei typically put total annual costs in the mid-to-high hundreds of thousands of New Taiwan dollars once you include registration fees, meals, transport and exam costs. Some newer or smaller French establishments publish lower headline tuition and may levy a one-off registration charge, so compare published fee tables and ask each school for a full breakdown of extras before you decide.
When should we apply and what about AEFE or French government scholarships?
The main intake follows the August/September northern-hemisphere academic year, and the most reliable strategy is to begin enquiries and submit applications several months before your intended start term because popular entry years (early years and the start of secondary) fill first. If you are a French family, check eligibility for AEFE-related support or French government scholarship schemes via the French Office in Taipei, since those programmes follow their own schedules and eligibility rules.
What should parents compare when choosing between French schools in Taiwan?
Look for curriculum homologation or AEFE partnership status, the school’s track record in delivering the French syllabus through to Terminale, the availability and level of French-language support for non-native speakers, and the language pathways for English and Mandarin that match your family’s priorities. Also compare the published fee schedules and what they include, campus location and transport options, and the school’s guidance on university pathways if you expect your child to sit the Baccalauréat or apply to universities abroad.
