Our School

Created in 2017 with the support of the French Embassy in Kosovo, the French School of Pristina (EFIP) is a private and secular school located in Pristina, Matiçan.

The EFIP benefits from a campus of more than 1000 m2, housing the nursery, kindergarten, primary, middle, and high schools in distinct areas of the building, each featuring well-equipped classrooms.

With its dynamic and committed teaching team, the school aspires to offer each student solid knowledge and skills and an education open to Europe and the world. It contributes to disseminating the French language and culture in a secular, multilingual, and intercultural educational framework.

The EFIP is approved by the French Ministry of Education and by the Kosovo Ministry of Education up to Grade 5. From Grade 6 onwards, EFIP follows the official French curriculum for middle and high school level, using materials developed by the National Center for Distance Education (CNED) with support from teaching assistant. Evaluations are sent to France for correction by qualified teachers. CNED, a public institution under the French Ministry of Education, provides state-backed distance education services.

In September 2024, EFIP opened the High School level (Grades 10-12). High School is an essential stage since it leads to the French national BACCALAUREAT, which is recognized throughout Europe.

All students from EFIP can continue their education in the schools of the worldwide network of the AEFE without an admission exam.

Our small class sizes allow each child to receive all the attention and support they need, in a caring and conducive atmosphere to learning
