Overview of Primary & Secondary School
The Lycée Français International Samuel Beckett (“LFI”) is a school that delivers education to pupils from age 3 (Maternelle Petite Section) all the way up to the French Baccalaureate (including the Irish Junior Certificate and the French Brevet des Colleges). With teaching provided in both French and English, the children at LFI receive an education based on Excellence and Personal development so that they can achieve academic excellence while also learning to become self-aware. The Primary School (equivalent of Junior Infant to 5th Class) located in Foxrock is open to all children and welcomes a mix of children of all origins and backgrounds. Although the Primary School provides education in French and follows the French curriculum, it also offers English classes.
The Secondary School located in the Eurocampus in Clonskeagh covers education from 6eme to the Terminale class (equivalent of 6th Class to 6th Year) and prepares for the Junior Certificate, the Brevet des Colleges and the French Baccalaureate. In Secondary School, the education is provided in French and English with a mix of pupils coming from LFI and St Killians (our partner school, the German School).
With over 500 pupils across the two sites, the Lycee Français International Samuel Beckett has grown constantly over the last decades to keep delivering a top class multilingual education level at a fair/affordable price that best prepares its pupils for the next steps in their lives.
