A Story of Culture, Passion & Belonging: Meet the Yoshii Family! 🇫🇷🇯🇵✨🌍

From Japan to Singapore and onto the courts of the All Japan Jr Squash Championships, 10-year-old Ceon Yoshii and her family share a truly special connection with the International French School (IFS).

Although non-French speakers when they arrived, the Yoshii family chose IFS for its unique cultural bridge, shared values between France and Japan, and the dedicated FLSCO support program that turns language learning into an exciting adventure. 📚❤️

« French and Japanese cultures share certain values — an appreciation for craftsmanship, art, detail, and taking pride in doing things properly. » — Takuya Yoshii (Father)

What impressed the Yoshii family most is how IFS actively opens its doors to non-French-speaking students, offering a genuine pathway into the French educational system. Thanks to personalized attention from teachers and tailored language integration, Ceon didn’t just learn a new language, she developed a deep sense of belonging and enthusiasm for a brand-new culture! 🌟

Back-to-School Parent-Teacher Meetings: Starting the Year Together! 📚✨

Just like students who start the school year with many things to cover, parents have to do their part too! 🏫 That’s why our parents back-to-school meetings are so important:
These gatherings are a wonderful opportunity to meet our dedicated teaching team in person, build a strong partnership with families, ask questions about the curriculum for the year, clarify details, and ensure open communication.

A big thank you to all the parents and teachers who joined! Together, we’re setting our students up for an amazing year. 🚀

Exploring, Learning, and Settling In! 🧭🌿

Starting secondary school is a big step, but our 6th-grade students are already off to a fantastic start!

As part of their Life and Earth Sciences (SVT) curriculum, our students took part in a fun orientation tour around the campus. Guided by Mr. Mercier and his fellow science teachers, they explored their new school environment, marked key locations on a campus map using cardinal points, and located their future classrooms.

Beyond learning how to navigate the campus, this hands-on activity encourages curiosity and scientific observation. Armed with multimeters to measure temperature, light, and humidity around the school, our young scientists got their first taste of field investigation! 🌡️☀️

Most importantly, this initiative also fosters well-being and seamless integration, helping our new middle schoolers feel confident, curious, and fully at home in their new school environment. ✨

Welcome to secondary school, Grade 6! 🎒👏

A historic day for our school and community! 🥳🎉

Tuesday 1st September marked a huge milestone for IFS as we officially launched the English International Stream (EIS)!
