French Education Abroad refers to the system of educational institutions and programs established by France in various countries to promote the French language and culture. These schools often follow the French national curriculum and are designed for both French expatriates and local students interested in learning French. The network includes Lycées and Écoles Maternelles, which provide education from preschool through high school. Many of these institutions are part of the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), ensuring that they maintain high educational standards and facilitate student mobility between France and other countries.
