Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival at IFS! 🥮🐰
Our Kindergarten and Elementary students immersed themselves in the magic of the Mid-Autumn Festival! Through a variety of hands-on activities, our young learners discovered the rich traditions, stories, and flavors of this celebration.
From shaping mooncakes and crafting custom decorations to crushing medicinal herbs with mortars like the Jade Rabbit and diving into Chinese folklore, our students developed their artistic skills while fully immersing themselves in this rich tradition.
What makes this approach so special at IFS is that learning goes far beyond books. By celebrating cultural diversity through fun, interactive play, our students don’t just discover a new culture, they also develop crucial manual and cognitive competencies along the way!
A big thank you to our passionate teachers and enthusiastic students for bringing so much color, creativity, and joy to our campus this week! 💛
« La langue est quelque chose de vivant : pour la faire vivre, non seulement il faut la pratiquer, mais aussi en étant à Singapour c’est très important que les enfants soient imprégnés de la culture locale (chinoise). Cela leur permet aussi d’avoir l’esprit très ouvert. La logique de la langue Chinoise est complètement différente de celle de la langue française, cela exerce l’esprit et apporte de la richesse. » Mandarin teacher at IFS

A special night full of global opportunities! 🌍🎓
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Lion City International University Fair! It was an incredible evening where our students actively engaged with top universities from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australasia, gaining direct answers on admissions, valuable insights into funding and dual degrees, and renewed confidence for their future study plans.
The strength of the French curriculum continues to open doors to the world’s most prestigious universities, and this event sets the stage for a year full of guidance and ambition.
The University Fair is not a standalone event, but the first step in an ongoing journey. At IFS, our dedicated Orientation Team works alongside secondary students throughout their high school years, providing continuous support to help them build personalized post-baccalaureate pathways.
📢 Stay tuned for our next big event! The IFS Orientation Team is already hard at work preparing our Orientation Week, coming up in early December! 🗓️
A heartfelt thank you to all the university representatives, families, and staff members who made this evening so inspiring! 💙

Investing in Educational Excellence: Our Teachers, Empowered by Cognitive Science! 🧠✨
At our school, exceptional teaching is at the heart of student success. That is why our secondary school teachers are continuous learners, sharpening their skills through expert-led professional training with the IFS Academy!
From September 14 to 18, our teaching team participated in intensive training modules led by Frédéric Guilleray, a renowned cognitive science expert, author, and member of the Scientific Council for National Education (CSEN).
Through up to 24 hours of specialized training, our teachers refine their daily practices to help students:
🎯 Maintain deep focus and active engagement in class
💡 Master complex concepts thoroughly
🧠 Build resilient, long-term memory and study habits
As part of this week of educational innovation, our teaching staff also attended an exclusive Cognitive Science Conference, diving even deeper into how the brain learns best.
By equipping our educators with the latest findings from neuroscience and cognitive psychology, we ensure they are at the top of their potential, offering your children an unmatched learning environment.

Building a More Inclusive Future: IFS Welcomes The GUILD International College! 🤝✨
We are proud to announce an innovative co-hosting partnership with @theguildcollege , Singapore’s first international college dedicated to neurodiverse learners!
Starting this term, IFS will host students and staff from The GUILD on our 2900 campus. They will occupy designated spaces, optimizing our campus footprint while fostering an inclusive, compassionate, and active community space.
Why this partnership matters:
💙 Living Our Core Values: Diversity goes beyond culture and language. By welcoming neurodiverse peers, our students learn active empathy, respect, and real-world inclusion in their daily lives.
🎨 Collaborative Opportunities: We look forward to exploring shared initiatives in visual arts, music, and sports where students from both schools can connect, create, and grow together side-by-side.
🌱 Community Impact: This agreement directly supports the long-term growth and educational environment at IFS and reinforces IFS’s commitment to being active within the wider Singapore community.
As we open our doors to The GUILD team and students, we look forward to showing what meaningful inclusion looks like in practice. Welcome to the campus, The GUILD! 🏫🇫🇷✨

Leading IFS into an Exciting New Chapter 🎓✨
As we settle into this exciting term, Mathieu Bellamy, President of the Executive Committee, and our new Principal, Samuel Jourdan, share a special welcome video message for our entire community.
Together, they highlight our shared vision for the future: preserving French educational excellence and strengthening our international openness here in Singapore, including through our new English International Stream. 🌍📚
« Beyond academic achievement, our ambition is to help every student thrive — to develop not only as learners, but as confident, curious, and well-rounded young people. » Samuel Jourdan, Principal
« For us, preparing the future of IFS is not about changing who we are. It is about building on what already works, responding thoughtfully to change, and ensuring that IFS remains a strong, welcoming and forward-looking school. »

A Story of Culture, Passion & Belonging: Meet the Yoshii Family! 🇫🇷🇯🇵✨🌍
From Japan to Singapore and onto the courts of the All Japan Jr Squash Championships, 10-year-old Ceon Yoshii and her family share a truly special connection with the International French School (IFS).
Although non-French speakers when they arrived, the Yoshii family chose IFS for its unique cultural bridge, shared values between France and Japan, and the dedicated FLSCO support program that turns language learning into an exciting adventure. 📚❤️
« French and Japanese cultures share certain values — an appreciation for craftsmanship, art, detail, and taking pride in doing things properly. » — Takuya Yoshii (Father)
What impressed the Yoshii family most is how IFS actively opens its doors to non-French-speaking students, offering a genuine pathway into the French educational system. Thanks to personalized attention from teachers and tailored language integration, Ceon didn’t just learn a new language, she developed a deep sense of belonging and enthusiasm for a brand-new culture! 🌟

Back-to-School Parent-Teacher Meetings: Starting the Year Together! 📚✨
Just like students who start the school year with many things to cover, parents have to do their part too! 🏫 That’s why our parents back-to-school meetings are so important:
These gatherings are a wonderful opportunity to meet our dedicated teaching team in person, build a strong partnership with families, ask questions about the curriculum for the year, clarify details, and ensure open communication.
A big thank you to all the parents and teachers who joined! Together, we’re setting our students up for an amazing year. 🚀

Exploring, Learning, and Settling In! 🧭🌿
Starting secondary school is a big step, but our 6th-grade students are already off to a fantastic start!
As part of their Life and Earth Sciences (SVT) curriculum, our students took part in a fun orientation tour around the campus. Guided by Mr. Mercier and his fellow science teachers, they explored their new school environment, marked key locations on a campus map using cardinal points, and located their future classrooms.
Beyond learning how to navigate the campus, this hands-on activity encourages curiosity and scientific observation. Armed with multimeters to measure temperature, light, and humidity around the school, our young scientists got their first taste of field investigation! 🌡️☀️
Most importantly, this initiative also fosters well-being and seamless integration, helping our new middle schoolers feel confident, curious, and fully at home in their new school environment. ✨
Welcome to secondary school, Grade 6! 🎒👏
