French International School of Pattaya
This school offers all children of all nationalities the opportunity to attend school in accordance with the requirements of the official French National Education programs.
Presentation
The French school, approved by the French Ministry of National Education, is located in Huai Yai, East of Pattaya (see map).
Efip is one of the most renowned international schools in Pattaya including Regents International School Pattaya, St. Andrews International School, Rugby School, Tara Pattana International School and Burapa Pattanasart International School.
The school, recently built on 15,000 m², can accommodate up to 400 pupils from the small section of kindergarten to the final year.
The establishment, a partner of the aefe (Agency for French Education Abroad) offers all French-speaking children or not the opportunity to attend school in accordance with the requirements of French national programs.
Students benefit from the objectives and organizational rules of the French education system, which allows them to return to normal schooling if they return to France, or to continue their studies abroad after the baccalaureate.
On the strength of its strengths, efip offers the possibility of learning several modern languages (English, Chinese, Thai and Spanish) in addition to French, which is the main language of study. This learning is validated within the official framework of the French exams (DNB and baccalaureate) and also by internationally recognized official certifications (in accordance with the European framework for modern languages).
Through French-style education, in an international context, we want to offer efip students a methodological, conceptual, intellectual framework, a general culture and a sense of autonomy and initiative that allows them to adapt to an increasingly complex and constantly changing world.
It is in this sense that all Efip staff are mobilized on a daily basis.
Our differences…
Modern buildings in a green setting, very affordable prices, “E3D” labeled school, internationally recognized diploma, quality system for non-French-speaking children, official certifications, reduced class sizes, educational quality, inclusive school, visa service, etc.
Scholarships 2024/2025
Pupils of French nationality can benefit from a scholarship from the small kindergarten section, if they are at least 3 years old in the calendar year of the start of the school year. This scholarship is issued by the Agency for French Education Abroad (A.E.F.E.), after consultation with the local Scholarship Commission. Help can be requested for school fees, canteen, transport. The request is made for each school year (there is no automatic renewal from one year to the next).
A second commission takes place during the summer, for new residents and for families who applied for a scholarship in February, whose situation has changed dramatically. These families inform the accounting department of their application, so that a specific payment schedule can be offered to them.
The efip sends an email to families to inform them of the opening of each of the 2 scholarship campaigns.
All information on educational assistance can be found on the website of the French Embassy.
