About this school
The Ecole Française Internationale de Pattaya (EFIP) is approved (homologuée) by the French Ministry of National Education and recognised by the Thai Ministry of Education. It is a partner school of the AEFE, the agency that runs the worldwide network of French schools abroad, and is open to children of every nationality.
The school moved into new buildings in Huai Yai, east of Pattaya, in September 2018. The campus covers about 15,000 square metres in a green setting and is designed for up to 400 pupils; the school currently reports around 260. Teaching follows the official French programmes from petite section de maternelle to terminale, leading to the Diplôme National du Brevet and the French baccalauréat. French is the main language of instruction; English and Thai are taught from maternelle, with Chinese or Spanish added in collège.
Pupils who do not yet speak French can join a bridge class (FLSCO) from CP to CM2, with around 12 hours of intensive French a week before moving into their regular class. The school holds the E3D sustainability label and offers a visa service. French families can apply for AEFE school scholarships.
