The French Department of Education has developed a national curriculum called the Common Foundation of Knowledge, Skills, and Culture. This curriculum focuses on knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for students to thrive academically and personally.
The French schools in Abu Dhabi deliver instruction in French and adopt the generic system classification used in schools within France. However, they do not offer Saturday schooling or half days on Wednesdays, as still practiced in some state schools in France.
