The Shanghai Gold Apple Bilingual School houses the Pudong campus of the French school of Shanghai

The French School of Shanghai (French: Lycée Français de Shanghai, Chinese: 上海法国外籍人员子女学校; pinyin: Shànghǎi Fǎguó Wàijí Rényuán Zǐnǚ Xuéxiào[1]) is a private, international school in Shanghai, China, with one campus in the Qingpu District and one campus in Pudong.[2] The Pudong Campus is on the property of the Shanghai Gold Apple Bilingual School.[3][4]

Students range from 3 to 18 years of age and must be of French nationality or already have been taught under the French system. It forms part of the international network of French schools managed by the French government through the Agence pour l'enseignement français à l'étranger (Agency for French Teaching Abroad), a national administrative body.

In 2005, LFS and the German School Shanghai completed a combined "EuroCampus" for their students in Qingpu, Shanghai.

In 2008, LFS opened a new satellite school in Pudong, Shanghai. The school was opened as a primary school and will grow into secondary school year by year (completion of middle school, collège, by 2012). As of the 2010-2011 school year, the Pudong campus has students from preschool to troisième (ninth grade). All students in the secondary school in Pudong follow the English/French bilingual curriculum.

The LFS comprises more than 1400 students.

A new EuroCampus in Yangpu District is scheduled to open in 2018.[5]

Curriculum

The education offered is equivalent to the education in France, and students sit the French Baccalaureate (Baccalauréat) at the end of Terminale (high school). Beginning in the 2010-2011 school year, students who have followed the appropriate course will have the opportunity to take the OIB (Option Internationale du Baccalauréat) in either Chinese or English. Preparation for this option requires study of certain subjects in the chosen foreign language. Alternatively, students may choose to enter the European section which includes extra study of English and a history and geography course taught in English.

In 2008, LFS opened two bilingual sections in the primary and middle schools at the QingPu campus. Parents can choose from dual-language English and French, French and Chinese, or the classic French program. Students in the bilingual sections are taught on a split timetable with half of their lessons in French and the other half in English or Chinese.

Exams Offered

In addition to the standard French examinations, LFS offers its students the opportunity to prepare for a variety of Chinese, English, Spanish and German certifications, including:

  • Cambridge Young Learners' English Tests for primary school students
  • IGCSE - From troisième (9th grade), advanced English students have the option to prepare for the IGCSE in either English Literature and Language or English as a Second Language.
  • IELTS - Preparation classes are offered to final year students planning to apply to Anglophone universities.
  • HSK - The Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì (HSK), (Chinese: 汉语水平考试), translated as Chinese Standard Exam, is China's only standardized test of Standard Chinese language proficiency for non-native speakers such as foreign students and overseas Chinese. The test is administered by Hanban, a non-government organization affiliated with the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China. And the French School of Shanghai is a Hanban centre.
