Introduction

ISC is a private Tunisian school teaching in French and is an AEFE partner. It welcomes students from Petite Section through Terminale on two sites: Carthage and El Menzah. It follows the official programs of the French National Education, with instruction delivered in French. Learning cycles cover Maternelle (TPS, PS, MS, GS); École élémentaire (CP–CM2); Collège (6e–3e); and Lycée (Seconde–Terminale). The school participates in the AEFE network, offering a French curriculum within the Tunisian context. After-school activities extend learning beyond the classroom, including arts, sport, sciences and culture, with programs structured for 2025–2026 at both campuses. Arts and creative clubs, cultural and language clubs, and community- and leadership-oriented activities are available, along with outings to expose students to other cultures. Student councils (CVL for lycée and CVC for collège) foster citizenship and leadership. A distinctive feature is the dual-campus, AEFE-partner model linking Tunisian families to a French-based pathway for success.
