École française internationale de Ljubljana

The International French School and Kindergarten of Ljubljana

About Us

The International French School of Ljubljana is a multilingual kindergarten and school that has been welcoming children of all nationalities, from 11 months to 18 years old, since 1992.

Approved by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the school follows the French national curriculum and is also accredited by the Slovenian Ministry of Education and Sports. This dual accreditation enables students to seamlessly transition between the two educational systems.

Students at the International French School typically become bilingual and often trilingual. This linguistic advantage provides them with a head start, enhancing not only their communication skills but also many other aspects of their personal and academic development.

What our families think of us

Florence BORDE

We have our 2 kids at the French international school, and are very happy with it. We feel the school is improving every year, with very good teachers, many quality clubs and activities, camps, and an important focus on languages learning we particularly like. We fully recommand this happy and dynamic school in Ljubljana!

Simona & Boštjan Lovšin

We decided to send our children to a French school because we want them to learn French. The fear that the child will have difficulty switching from one language to the other is totally unnecessary, because the children do it without any problems. The knowledge they acquire in the French preschool is far superior to that acquired in the Slovenian school. That’s why I’ve decided that they should continue their education at EFIL. The system is so well designed that they hardly have any work to do at home. Apart from French language skills, the school’s added value is the individual approach, the small groups, the adaptation to parents and children. I see the school as a family, where everything is always resolved through discussion, and where parents and children are in contact with each other.

Dániel Ihász-Tóth

We decided to choose the French School because so our son can not only improve his Slovene skills but also add French which is a world language. He is also learning English. I think he’ll become trilingual in a couple of years. We also like that fact that this is a non-profit organisation. They are not after your money. The tuition is reasonable. The school follows a curriculum that is supervised by the French authorities. This is a guarantee of quality.
