French Curriculum International Schools in Taiwan

About international schools in Taiwan

French-curriculum international schools in Taiwan are comparatively few and are concentrated in Taipei; the main options today include the French Section of Taipei European School (the Lycée français de Taipei) and a newer independent French school that opened in 2022. These schools follow the French national curriculum (cycles through Petite Section to Terminale) and prepare students for French national qualifications such as the Brevet and the Baccalauréat, while offering bilingual or trilingual pathways that put substantial time into English and Mandarin. Tuition is billed in New Taiwan Dollars and varies by school and year group: for example one recently opened French school publishes annual fees in the low-hundreds of thousands of NT$, while the city’s largest international schools can charge well above NT$900,000 a year, so expect a broad band of “several hundred thousand NT$” depending on age and services. Admissions follow the northern-hemisphere academic calendar with the main intake for new cohorts in August/September; French families should also check whether they qualify for an AEFE grant (applications are coordinated through the French Office in Taipei and have their own timetable).

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 concentrated in Taipei: the French Section of Taipei European School (often styled the Lycée français de Taipei) has long been the established option and a newer independent French school (Lycée International Français de Taipei, opened from 2022) now offers an alternative. Parents relocating outside Taipei will find few dedicated French-curriculum campuses elsewhere in Taiwan, so most French-language families base themselves in the capital.
What curriculum and end-of-school diplomas do these schools follow and award?
Most French-section provision in Taiwan follows the French national curriculum from early years through to Terminale, and students are prepared for the French national examinations (Brevet and Baccalauréat); some schools also align with international variants such as the Baccalauréat Français International (BFI) where offered. Accreditation or partnership with the French Agency for Education Abroad (AEFE) is common for French sections and partner schools, which helps ensure the curriculum maps to French ministry standards.
Which languages will my child learn and which language is used for teaching?
Instruction in a French-curriculum school is primarily in French, but most schools operating in Taiwan build strong bilingual or trilingual pathways: English is typically a daily subject from early years and Mandarin (Chinese) is routinely taught across primary and secondary. By the end of primary many pupils in the French section follow a bilingual French - English pathway and also attend regular Mandarin classes, so multilingual fluency is a core feature of the programmes.
How much should we budget for fees and what extra costs should we expect?
Tuition levels vary by school, grade and the services included; one recently opened French school publishes annual tuition around NT$378,900 - 440,100 for its year groups, while larger international schools in Taipei commonly charge much more, so French provision in Taipei sits within a wider market of “several hundred thousand NT$” per year. In addition to core tuition expect one-time registration or enrollment fees, annual building or capital levies at some schools, and recurring extras for lunch, transport, uniforms and co-curricular activities; check each school’s fee schedule and payment policy before committing.
When should we apply and are there scholarships or grants available?
Start the application process several months before the August/September term start; many schools operate rolling admissions but places in popular year groups fill early and waiting lists are common. French nationals should investigate AEFE support: the AEFE grant scheme is administered through the French Office in Taipei and has its own deadlines (families usually need to coordinate grant applications with the school’s admissions and finance teams). Always confirm deadlines, assessment requirements and any application fees directly with the school.
What should parents prioritise when comparing French schools in Taiwan?
Look first at curriculum alignment and accreditation (AEFE partnership or recognition by the French Ministry of Education), the school’s language pathways and support for non-French speakers, and the secondary-school programme and university pathways it enables. Also check practical items that affect daily life: published fee schedules and what they include, class sizes and learning support, transport/lunch options, visa or local-student eligibility rules, and recent school communications or prospectuses so you can verify how the programme works in practice.
