French Curriculum International Schools in United Arab Emirates

French-curriculum international schools in the United Arab Emirates deliver the French national curriculum (often under association with the AEFE or with homologation by the French authorities) and teach primarily in French while commonly offering substantial English instruction alongside UAE-required Arabic and, for Muslim pupils, Islamic education. School provision ranges from maternelle (pre-school) through lycée (secondary) to the French baccalauréat, and many schools also run bilingual streams or additional language support for non-French speakers. Annual tuition varies widely by emirate, campus and year group - indicative published ranges run from around AED 30,000 up to well over AED 100,000, with extra charges for transport, meals and external exam entries. The academic year in the UAE typically starts in August/September, so families should begin enquiries and applications several months in advance; check each school’s AEFE/French-authority status and its local licensing and Arabic/Islamic-studies arrangements before committing.
