Jules Verne Riga French school was established in September 2007 by the initiative of the French Embassy in Latvia.
Implementing the programs and practices of the French National Education, Jules Verne school delivers intercultural education that is focused on multilingualism, openness, personalized support, creative development, and 21st-century skills. Our teachers are highly professional native speakers of French and other languages, selected for their expertise and experience.
In 2011, Jules Verne Riga French school entered the network of the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE). School is monitored annually by the AEFE inspectors of the National Education, reassuring the effectiveness and conformity of the teaching methods.
The Jules Verne Riga French school is managed by the association of student parents—APECEF.
The Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE) is a government institution supervised by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responsible for monitoring and managing the network of French schools abroad. The AEFE plays a key role in expanding France’s cultural and linguistic influence throughout the world and serves to boost the appeal of French higher education.
Jules Verne Riga French School is a non-profit, private school, managed by an association of parents of pupils, the APECEF. Partially renewed each year, the association ensures the administrative and financial management of the school.
The School Council is the forum for discussion between the educational community and parents. It is chaired by the school principal and composed of classroom teachers and representatives of parents.
The School Council decides on the establishment project, the internal rules, school schedules and calendar, and the list of positions for expatriate and local staff.
It also issues an opinion on proposals for changing educational structures and activities, the extracurricular programme, parents' involvement in the school life, planning and funding school trips, organisation of school life, hygiene, health and safety issues, welcoming and supporting pupils with disabilities, and school meals.
Jules Verne Riga French school can make arrangements for non-French speaking children, regardless of their age. Our aim is to allow all non-French speaking kids to learn French and master the main language functions.
