Coffee, Croissants, and Community Building ☕🥐

We were delighted to host students from the @moelc_official (Ministry of Education Language Centre) at IFS! 🇸🇬🇫🇷

The visit was a wonderful opportunity to build bridges through language and culture. Our guests enjoyed an insightful tour of the campus, followed by a convivial breakfast where students from both horizons could connect, share experiences, and practice their French in a relaxed atmosphere.

Seeing such passion for the French language within the Singaporean community is always a highlight for us. These exchanges are a cornerstone of our commitment to fostering strong ties within the local educational landscape. 🤝✨

The adventure continues! On March 30th, 2026, it will be our students’ turn to experience the same immersion as they visit other Singaporean schools alongside their MOELC partners. Various activities and awareness actions will also be taking place in classrooms and during breaks to celebrate this collaboration. 🚌🎒

A huge thank you to the MOELC students and staff for their visit, it was a true plaisir to have you on campus!

Francophonie Week & Spring of Poets: Our School is Abuzz! 🇫🇷🌍

From March 16th, the International French School (IFS) turned into a vibrant stage for “Résonances Francophones.” This special week, led by Elodie Leteissier, Anthony Da Silva, Laura Faledam, Elsa Belbacha and Elodie Debove, celebrates the French language and the “Printemps des Poètes” through the incredible creativity of our students!

From Grade 6 to Grade 10, our students have been busy bringing words to life:
🎙️ Action-packed: Sports commentary and voice dubbing workshops.
📜 Poetry in motion: “Expressive Brigades” roaming the halls and poetic stickers decorating lockers.
🎭 Artistic flair: Living paintings (“Tableaux Vivants”) and a massive graffiti mural celebrating “Liberty.”
🧠 Academic fun: A giant Bernard Pivot-style dictation (shoutout to our Primary students for joining in!).
🎈 Symbolic moments: A bubble release to mark the start of the poetry season and poetic kites flying high in the 3C.

We also shared moments of reflection with a Multilingual Poetry Reading and a Literary Café where staff and students bonded over their favorite books. ☕📚

A huge thank-is to all the participants for proving that the French language is a living, breathing force!

Did you know that French is the 5th most spoken language in the world and the 4th most used on the Internet? With over 321 million speakers across five continents, French is, alongside English, the only language present globally. It is also the 2nd most taught language worldwide, with 51 million people choosing to learn the “language of Molière.”

Architecture meets clay! 🏛️✨

Our 3ème students completed an incredible journey into the world of Antoni Gaudí, 100 years after his legacy began. Under the guidance of local artist Lynn Teo, our classrooms transformed into architectural studios.

The process was intense and rewarding:
1️⃣ Research & Design: Mastering perspective to bring Gaudí’s organic curves to life on paper.
2️⃣ Construction: Learning slab building techniques to turn 2D sketches into 3D clay structures.
3️⃣ The Finishing Touch: Applying glazes after the first firing to capture that iconic Gaudí color palette.

The results are now on display in the 3C! Come and see how these young architects reimagined “Gaudí Houses” for the 21st century. 🎨🏺

Next stop: Secondary School! 🚀✨

We were delighted to host an exclusive Open House for La Petite École parents! Transitioning to 6eme is a major milestone, and we are committed to making it a smooth and exciting journey for every child.

The morning began with a warm welcome and a coffee social, followed by insightful explanation by Ms. Erin-Agot, Vice-Principal, and our Head of School, Mr. Binan. They shared our unique approach to supporting students as they move from the final year of primary into the secondary cycle.

The highlight of the event? A guided tour of our secondary facilities, giving parents a firsthand look at the vibrant classrooms and innovative spaces where their children will continue to grow, learn, and thrive.

Thank you to all the parents who joined us for these meaningful conversations!

An Inspiring Exchange: An Evening with Chief Mundiya Kepanga 🌍

We were honored to host Papuan Chief Mundiya Kepanga, customary chief of the Huli people of Papua New Guinea, this week at IFS for a truly unique evening.

From the screening of Guardians of the Forest to a lively Q&A, it was an evening of pure authenticity where the curiosity of our students met the timeless wisdom of Mundiya.

“How old are you?” “What is the meaning of your name?” 🧒💬
We learned that age is just a number (one he doesn’t even track!), that his lineage is tied to the birds of the rainforest. 🌳🦜

Through laughter and wonder, our community discovered a new perspective on conservation. Chief Mundiya didn’t just teach us about biology; he taught us about the soul of the Earth.
It was a beautiful, candid, and often humorous exchange that reminded us all: to protect the primary forests, we must first learn to love and respect them as he does.

A huge thank you to Chief @mundiyakepanga and filmmaker @marcdozier , for opening our hearts and minds and for reminding us that while we may live worlds apart, our responsibility to protect the Earth’s primary forests is a shared journey.
