Of course! We welcome non-French speaking families to the school. Please keep in mind that it is a commitment — and investment of time — for families who do not speak French at home to choose our bilingual program. Part of that is a willingness to expose children to the French language and culture outside of classroom hours. Through our after-school programs, we offer many opportunities for children to speak French after regular school hours. Our experience is that this commitment yields profound rewards for students and parents alike!
Most definitely! We welcome families of all nationalities. Education, after all, should not have any borders.
One of the great joys at the Lycée Français International de Mumbai is experiencing how French and English are spoken and “mixed” among our students across all the grade levels. Generally speaking, in the lower levels, the children speak the language they, or their friends, are most comfortable in. Vive la difference!
We welcome admissions to all grades. However, any admissions for Grade 3 and above require a minimum A1 (DELF) in French for students not formerly part of the French curriculum. This allows for a smooth transition into the pedagogy.
Our students are fortunate to experience learning from an authentically French and Indian perspective at the school. Our French-speaking teachers are educated in France and carefully recruited to teach here. And we’re proud that our English-speaking faculty members are among the top teachers of any private school in Mumbai. Language is no barrier to teaching excellence.
With students coming from more than 18 countries, we absolutely revel in our diversity. We welcome many Mumbai-based international families into the school, who share a passion and openness to the world.
We do not offer discounts.
We welcome many French families into the school, but we give equal consideration to all families, including non-French speaking ones. Given the level of French needed to thrive in the elementary school and higher, we do ask all families to make a commitment to expose their children to the French language and culture outside the classroom. The school offers many opportunities to do this through the extracurricular activities and other programs.
The school offers both a bilingual and bicultural curriculum. French and English are the languages of learning. Our students are prepared for the renowned French Baccalaureate exams, as well as the Cambridge exams. From preschool till fifth grade, students are taught by a teaching team of French and English speaking teachers, with 50% of their classroom time in French and 50% in English. All LFIM students are remarkably bilingual and bicultural, with an extraordinary ability to move seamlessly between the two core languages and cultures of the school.
