Collège Français Bilingue de Londres

"Housed in a listed Victorian building in the heart of London, Ofsted Outstanding-rated CFBL hosts 700 students from Nursery to Year 10 in a warm and welcoming environment. With over 35 nationalities represented in the student body, and a particular emphasis on languages and multicultural learning, CFBL promotes openness, tolerance and flexibility, and helps students become citizens of the world.

OurCoeducational, bilingual teaching is based on an enhanced version of the French curriculum, which fosters academic excellence and promotes the personal development of the pupils while preparing them for whatever they choose to do next, whether they decide to take the French baccalaureate, IB, A Levels or prefer another stream. Classes are taught bilingually, with intensive French or English support classes for pupils who need them. We welcome beginners in French up to Year 7 and beginners in English at all levels. In addition to providing them with the lifelong asset of being able to converse and write fluently in two languages, bilingual education enhances students' ability to focus, their mental flexibility as well as their capacity for abstract thinking and problem-solving.

Throughout their time at CFBL, students are nurtured in a welcoming environment where they can discover the joys of learning, supported by attentive teaching staff whose approach is based on mutual trust and respect. A central part of our mission is to give students the confidence and self-esteem to succeed whatever their endeavours. We strive to achieve that through a wide range of projects, from campaigning to save the planet, to fundraising to end child poverty, not to mention inclusive artistic competitions and even monthly music jams. Our extensive trips and foreign exchange programme also enables students to build confidence by adapting to new environments and building friendships abroad. Students can also avail of our wide range of co-curricular activities, including the Duke of Edinburgh Award, to promote their personal development."
