Cities / Singapore / Lycee Francais de Singapour

Lycee Francais de Singapour



  • Parents value the bilingual French-English programme and the strong baccalaureate results, with the 2025 cohort posting a 100% pass rate and roughly three-quarters earning distinctions.
  • Many families settle near the Ang Mo Kio campus, and the community is described as close-knit, with siblings often cycling through together.
  • The school is positioned as one of Singapore's more affordable internationals, often discussed in expat threads as a cheaper option than 50,000-SGD-a-year alternatives.
  • Non-French speakers face an immersion period that parents describe as intense before it clicks.
  • Local press coverage has at points centred on student behaviour outside school grounds, including a Serangoon void deck incident that prompted town council, police and school discussions. Public sentiment around that episode was negative.

Positives

  • Academic results. Bac pass rate and distinction percentages are the most cited evidence of academic strength.
  • Affordability. Treated in expat circles as one of the more affordable international options in Singapore, with no requirement to be French.
  • Community. Tight French expat community in the Serangoon and Ang Mo Kio area, with multi-sibling families a common pattern.

Considerations

  • Immersion for non-French speakers. Parents whose children join without French report an intense settling period.
  • Student behaviour outside school. Local complaints and press coverage about students vandalising and fighting in nearby HDB void decks led to formal meetings between the school, town council and police.
