Situated just a stone’s throw away from the famous neighborhood of Camden Town, CFBL was founded in 2011 on the premises of the former Kingsway College. The Victorian building was entirely renovated and adapted to the purposes of a modern style of teaching. Our whole staff is happy to welcome 700 students and their families in such a beautiful setting.
Safety, well-being, and eagerness to discover new things are at the heart of the philosophy of our « home of learning ». Trust is the core value of our educational project. Learning to become independent and open-minded is essential to our students’ development into well-rounded adults.
Our teachings are in line with the curriculum established by the French Ministry for Education, but our aim remains, ever since the founding of our establishment, to give a fully bilingual education to all.
Our students are encouraged to exchange, share, invent, and take initiatives in a multicultural and open environment. Throughout their studies, they acquire, in addition to academic knowledge, the human and social tools that will enable them to thrive in high school, and in their many future endeavors – whether personal or professional – throughout their lives.
Our school is located in Camden, in central London, and provides students with an excellent education, underpinned by a special commitment to language learning and digital culture. Our students are nurtured in a welcoming environment where they can discover the joys of learning, supported by attentive teaching staff whose approach is based on mutual trust and respect.
Our students are encouraged to interact, be creative and take initiatives in our multicultural environment, in which they can acquire academic knowledge and also develop the human, relational qualities which will guide them through their years at school and beyond.
At the end of their schooling at CFBL, our students move on to a French lycée in London (mainly the Lycée International Winston Churchill, but also the Lycée Charles de Gaulle) or another school in France or overseas. Some students continue in the English educational system.
CFBL’s mission is to provide students with the best of French educational culture while preparing them for life in the modern world by giving them a bilingual, multicultural education.
We aim in particular to:
- Deliver a bilingual and bi-cultural education to French-speaking pupils.
- Foster academic excellence by following the French curriculum as set out by the French Éducation Nationale whilst at the same time realizing the full potential of each child.
- Give advice and help to pupils, as well as their families, to help them realize the best possible educational path.
- Promote the personal development of the pupils by offering them as wide a choice as possible of the group and individual activities within the fields of art, culture, and sport and to this end, to promote extra-curricular activities.
- Prepare pupils for their entry into the upper secondary section of the French Lycée or help pupils transfer into the English education system.
- Teach pupils to respect and embrace the richness and cultural diversity which CFBL offers.
