Starting in the 2025 academic year, the French School Jakarta is enhancing its secondary school language offering by introducing two complementary English-language programs:
These programs, fully aligned with the multilingual policy of the AEFE network, provide students with a coherent, ambitious, and progressive English-language education — from the beginning of middle school through to the French Baccalaureate.
The PARLE program (Parcours Adapté et Renforcé de Langue Étrangère – Adapted and Strengthened Foreign Language Pathway) is designed for all middle school students who are not enrolled in the International Section. Its aim is to strengthen their English skills in an accessible, engaging, and structured environment.
It includes:
This pathway prepares students to use English confidently in an academic context and serves as a natural stepping stone toward high school excellence programs such as SELO or the International Section (BFI).
As a natural continuation of the PARLE program, the European Section in English (SELO) is offered in high school for students who are not enrolled in the International Section. This program helps students further strengthen their command of English while continuing academic instruction partially in English.
The SELO program includes:
At the end of Terminale, students may earn the official “European Section” distinction on their French Baccalaureate – a highly regarded credential for university applications.
A Structured and Complementary Path to Excellence
Together, the PARLE and SELO programs form a coherent and progressive learning path:
This path allows students to develop their English proficiency step by step, in a stimulating linguistic environment, and prepares them effectively for the demands of higher education in France and abroad.
The American International Section is available from middle school at the French School Jakarta. It offers a bilingual academic environment that combines advanced English instruction with a rich understanding of Anglophone culture and society.
In Middle School, International Section students benefit from:
In High School, the International Section prepares students for the French International Baccalaureate (BFI) – a demanding and internationally recognized diploma.
The BFI program includes:
This pathway is designed for motivated and curious students with strong English skills, who are seeking a high-level bilingual education. It provides excellent preparation for university studies both in France and internationally.
By offering these two pathways, the French School Jakarta affirms its mission to develop multilingual, globally minded students with strong linguistic and cultural competencies. These programs meet the needs of both French-speaking and international families, while aligning with the expectations of higher education institutions in France and abroad.
