The school follows France's national curriculum from maternelle through terminale, with bilingual French-Indonesian instruction and English as a key language component. This pathway prepares students for the French Baccalauréat, providing direct access to French universities including the prestigious Grandes Écoles, as well as international institutions that recognize this rigorous qualification.

The Cipete campus features modern educational facilities including air-conditioned classrooms, library and documentation centers, an outdoor pavilion, school restaurant, and sports facilities designed to support the French curriculum's academic and extracurricular requirements.
