Why Parents Love IFS
“The teachers are patient, and we receive frequent updates on our daughter’s progress in class. During school holidays, IFS organises school camps for the kids that are conducted by external vendors, and Charlotte enjoys it. The school emphasis is on character building, which develops Charlotte’s personality.”
— Hairunnisa and Gaetan Jankowski, Singaporean and French
“Indigo has been attending IFS since January 2018, when she entered Kindergarten. She’s currently following the bilingual French English stream in Primary 1. Being at the school has been great so far. Indigo started without knowing a single word of French as she came from a local childcare centre. We had a very smooth transition.”
— Erica Marcellan and Lorenzo Zanirato, Italian
“Over five years, our three children navigated a French-immersive environment, overcoming initial challenges to become fluent speakers. With supportive educators, engaging extracurricular activities, and a nurturing community, IFS offers more than education—it provides a multicultural, confidence-building experience that transcends traditional schooling.”
— Emma and Wesley Hughes, Irish

What a fantastic encounter at IFS ! 🎨We had the pleasure of welcoming @mascarade_artist , a French street artist 🎭, who came especially from Le Havre 🇫🇷 to meet our students.
He visited several classes to explain his techniques, how he creates his pieces, and to guide the students as they made their own artworks in his style 🎨.
The experience continued with an exhibition open to parents and children 👨👩👧👦, during which he created a live piece and shared his artistic journey and how he became a street artist. It was truly fascinating 🤩.
A huge thank you to Mascarade for his generosity and to everyone who made this event possible 🙏.
And of course — congratulations to all the students for their absolutely breathtaking creations 👏

🌸✨ A look back at the “Gardens in the City” exhibition ✨🌸Our CP students had the joy of presenting the results of several weeks of artistic work based on the theme “Gardens in the City.”
Throughout the sessions, they explored shapes, materials, colours, and gave free rein to their imagination, bringing to life gardens that are as poetic as they are unexpected. 🌿🎨
The outcome is simply stunning: an exhibition full of colour, texture, and creativity, reflecting the dedication and pride of every student.
A big congratulations to the students and their teachers for this inspiring collective project, and to all the families and classes who came to admire their work. 👏✨

📚✨ Authors’ Visit and Young Readers’ Vote at IFS!As part of the Prix des Incorruptibles, we had the pleasure of welcoming two French authors:
📖 Bernard Villiot
📖 Jean-Luc Marcastel
They shared with our students how stories come to life, where inspiration originates, how characters are developed, and how long it really takes to write a book.
Our students asked questions, shared their own ideas, and imagined how they would have written the stories!
✨ Meanwhile, our Kindergarten students voted for their favourite book from this year’s selection. They learned how an election works: choosing a ballot, stepping into the booth, placing it in the ballot box and signing the register, a moment taken very seriously by our little voters!
Thank you to our guest authors and enthusiastic readers for these brilliant moments 📚💫

✨ 3ème Students’ Shophouse Exhibition — Completed! ✨A few weeks ago, we shared a glimpse of their work in progress… and now, their beautiful clay shophouses are finished and on display!
After drawing their ideas using perspective, our students brought them to life in 3D, working alongside Lynn Teo, a third-generation Singaporean potter, and learning slab building techniques in clay.
And the clever detail: these little shophouses are also tealight holders!
A creative, thoughtful project celebrating both local architectural heritage and hands-on artistic skills.
Congratulations to our talented young artists — what a wonderful exhibition!
📷 Aren’t they magnificent?

🎶 ChorAsie 2025 – When Freedom Finds Its Voice 🎤110 students from the French schools in @lyceefrancaisdebali, @lfimargueriteduras, @lyceefrancaisdekualalumpur came together at IFS for an inspiring musical project: ChorAsies.
Focusing on the theme of freedom, they explored a diverse and challenging repertoire—from Coldplay and George Michael to Michel Berger, Daniel Balavoine, and Nina Simone—culminating in a dynamic one-hour concert brimming with energy and emotion.
The students were also fortunate to attend a vocal workshop with international jazz singer @alemayzing, to whom we extend our heartfelt thanks for her generosity and time.
🙏 Our warm thanks also go to:
🎸 @Fran Ho, pianist and guitarist,
🎼 @Julie Demange- Wodtke, IFS music teacher, whose passion and dedication made this project possible. Without her, the music simply wouldn’t have resonated the same way. 💫
Congratulations to all the students for this truly beautiful collective performance!
« La musique, c’est la liberté en notes. »
Watch the full concert on the IFS YouTube channel from tomorrow.

We already knew our students were talented… but just look at these – they’re absolutely stunning 🎨
With so much creativity on display, it was truly impossible to choose just one winner per year group – the decision was a real challenge!
So, we’ve selected 10 winners per level, along with a special “Judge’s Favourite” award ❤️
🎁 Each winner receives a book prize to keep their love of reading going strong.
