Dear Sir or Madam

As the new headmistress of EFIK, I would like to welcome you to our site and to our school.

By enrolling your child at the International French School of Kathmandu, you are joining the network of the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE). This network currently includes 566 schools in 138 countries. It offers teaching approved by the French Ministry of Education, which certifies the conformity of the teaching to the requirements, programmes and pedagogical objectives of the French system.

The teaching at EFIK is provided by friendly French-speaking teachers with a solid professional background. This demanding teaching aims to develop critical thinking and to promote the values of equality, freedom and fraternity, which are expressed in different ways in the life of the school (e.g.: class representatives’ council).

The school is also turned towards its host country: Nepal. It is one of our missions to help students discover the culture and richness of Nepal, both in the context of teaching and in the extra-curricular activities that will be offered throughout the year.

On the other hand, EFIK offers rich language courses, which are a real guarantee of your child’s openness to the world. While French remains the main language of instruction, English, Nepali and Spanish are also widely practiced within the school.

EFIK now offers to accompany students until they obtain their baccalaureate, so that they can then enter the most prestigious universities, both in France and in the rest of the world.

The Management Committee, the teaching staff and myself will do our utmost to develop the school and guarantee a quality education. May this new school year be one of fulfilment and success for each of our students and staff.

The Director

Emmanuelle LOBEZ
