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.

A Nostalgic Sunday to Remember! 🎶✨

Our students took the stage at the @afsingapour for the spectacular VIVE 90s concert, and the energy was simply electric!

From our 40 Middle School choir members to our 7 High School singers (Option musique), a total of 47 IFS students from 6ème to Terminale performed together in perfect harmony. Whether it was the emotional “S’il suffisait qu’on s’aime”, the powerful “L’envie d’aimer”, or the high-energy “J’irai où tu iras”, they sang their hearts out as one.

Beyond the technical performance, this was a beautiful display of inclusion and community. The backstage atmosphere was incredible, proving that music is the ultimate bridge between generations.

Most importantly, this event was a major fundraiser for @singtheatre “365 Hours of Music” initiative. Seeing our students use their voices for such a great cause reminds us of the strength of our community bonds.

A massive thank you to our music teacher and choir director, Julie Demange, your dedication and tireless work brought this diverse group together into one united, moving voice. 👏🌟Congratulations to all our performers, you made the entire IFS community proud!

The IFS community experienced a moment of profound emotion and reflection. In partnership with @memorialshoahofficiel , we hosted a live conference from the Drancy Memorial. 🇫🇷

We were privileged to hear from Jean-Victor Cario, who shared his moving journey as a hidden child during the Holocaust. His story of resilience and survival left a lasting impact on our students and parents alike.

A huge congratulations to Margaux in Terminale for her excellent moderation and for representing the PEAC (Parcours d’Education Artistique et Culturelle) program with such maturity. 👏

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Jean-Victor Cario for his generosity and to the Mémorial de la Shoah for making this transmission possible. Listening to these voices is how we ensure that “Never Again” remains a commitment for the next generation. 🕊️

Celebrating Eloquence at IFS! 🌟

At the end of January 2026, eight of our talented middle and high school students took the stage for the school-level final of the “Ambassadeurs, Ambassadrices En Herbe” (AAEH) competition.

This prestigious AEFE project challenges students to master the art of public speaking through local, regional, and global tournaments. For this edition, our speakers tackled a fascinating and timely theme: “Artificial Intelligence: A Revolution Serving Humanity?” 🤖✨

Since October, these students have been training weekly under the dedicated guidance of Ms. Chauvet and Ms. Chomienne, honing their oratory techniques and finding their unique voices.
A huge congratulations to all our participants: William, Fares, Mathilde, Gabrielle, Emma , Anaïs, Zichun, and Lily.

After an impressive final judged by our panel (Ms. Tché, Ms. Erin-Agot, and students Alys and Manon), six laureates were selected to move forward: 🏆 William, Mathilde, Gabrielle, Anaïs, Zichun, and Lily.

The adventure continues right now! ✈️ 🇦🇺 Our ambassadors are currently in Canberra, Australia, for the Asia-Pacific regional final (March 9th–13th). We are incredibly proud of their journey and wish them the best of luck as they represent IFS on the international stage!
