Frequently Asked Questions
Our teachers come from all over the world. They are qualified, native-English and native-French speakers with experience teaching in their home countries as well as in schools around the world. We also make a point of recruiting teachers with the right mindset and our teachers are truly dedicated to offering a tailored and supportive environment to allow each child to develop rapidly, confidently and equally in two languages and two cultures.
EIFA is an international school and our children currently represent more than 30 nationalities. Most children have dual nationality and we have a fair proportion of Francophone families.
We place a strong emphasis on small class sizes, so that children can get the individual and tailored support they need. The feedback we receive from families is that their children have integrated very rapidly compared with other international schools abroad. We also have EAL teachers.
We also have a vibrant and dynamic parents association called EIFA Parents who welcome new families when they arrive in our School. The aims of EIFA Parents are to raise funds for projects and equipment to benefit the School community as a whole, and to organise social events to enable our School parents to meet and get to know each other, such as coffee mornings, summer parties and sports day picnics.
We are a small, family school and each child receives individual attention. Moreover, we give extra attention to children with learning difficulties.
