🌿 Our journey to becoming an Enviroschool

From March to November 8, 2025. 🌱

What began as an empty space has blossomed into a growing dream that has always been part of our school’s vision to become an Enviroschool ↗.

This garden is more than soil and plants; it’s a living classroom where learning, care, and nature come together.

A heartfelt thank you to OKE Charity ↗ for guiding and supporting us on this journey.

High-Quality Teaching Team and Native Speakers

All of our teachers hold qualifications recognised by the Ministries of Education in France and New Zealand.

The French curriculum is taught by French teachers whose qualifications are recognised by the French Ministry of Education and who have experience teaching in primary schools in France.
A native English-speaking teacher leads English lessons and teaches non-linguistic subjects such as sports, art, technology, or science.

Some of our teachers not only have experience teaching in France but have also lived in New Zealand for many years and have taught here, making them familiar with the New Zealand curriculum and pedagogy.

Family stories

Here’s what parents had to say about our school:

We warmly recommend the French School of Auckland. Our 6-year-old son has benefited from high-quality teaching, in both French and English, within a setting that is both stimulating and caring. The welcoming and attentive teaching team greatly facilitated his integration when we arrived in New Zealand, making this transition period especially rewarding.

[Translated from French by EFIA]

Our 8-year-old son joined EFIA in 2025 after several years in a local public school. During a stay in France, we realized there was a gap between his achievements and the expected level for his age. This encouraged us to look for a school environment where he could both progress academically and thrive personally.
