Lycée Français Jules Verne de Johannesburg

The Lycée Français Jules Verne de Johannesburg is South Africa's premier French international school, serving the French-speaking and bilingual international community in Johannesburg since 1994. Located in Morningside, Sandton — the heart of Johannesburg's diplomatic and business district — the school operates under the AEFE (Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Étranger) framework and delivers the complete French national curriculum from maternelle (nursery, age 2) through terminale (Year 13, age 18). Students graduate with the prestigious French Baccalauréat, recognised globally for university entry in France, Europe, and beyond. The school is uniquely bilingual, offering full English/French instruction to support both French and Anglophone families. The academic programme integrates South African cultural elements alongside the French curriculum, making it particularly appealing to Franco-South African and multilingual families. The Lycée serves the children of French consular staff, business executives, NGO workers, and internationally mobile families across the Sandton area. The school's AEFE affiliation ensures curriculum continuity for French-speaking families relocating globally.
