What makes International French School (Singapore)’s bilingual program the gold standard?
At the International French School (Singapore), language learning isn’t just an add-on — it’s actually the heart of everything they do! IFS (Singapore) knows that being bilingual (and even trilingual!) is more than just useful. It’s a superpower for life in today’s global world. That’s why they make multilingualism fun, flexible, and accessible for every student.
IFS (Singapore)’s bilingual education philosophy goes beyond traditional approaches. For example, the school offers an integrated French-English curriculum from kindergarten, where students explore French, English, and even Mandarin, building a solid language foundation from an early age. The school’s approach is rooted in the belief that multilingualism equips students with valuable skills and cultural awareness, essential in today’s interconnected world.
What sets the school apart is its flexible and inclusive language pathways. With specialised programmes like the FLSco (French Language Support) for non-French-speaking students and the Anglais+ stream in Élémentaire for advanced English learning, IFS ensures all students thrive in bilingual education regardless of background. Middle School students have additional support through the French Passerelle programme, which pairs non-French speakers with native French-speaking buddies, enhancing integration and community building. Through personalised attention, fun language activities, and a clear path to the French Baccalauréat, IFS ensures its students foster a deep love for languages and take this passion with them outside school.
How does International French School (Singapore) nail affordable school fees?
IFS (Singapore) makes premier international education accessible by offering competitive tuition rates ranging from $20,245 for kindergarten to $31,740 for high school.

At IFS (Singapore), affordability never comes at the expense of student performance.
