The Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE) brings together, as of September 2026, 640 schools in 140 countries, educating more than 400,000 students, one third of whom are French and two thirds of other nationalities.

With a 98.8% pass rate and 83.3% of students achieving honours, the 2026 session of the French Baccalaureate confirms the excellence of students within the AEFE network.

All of these schools are accredited by the French Ministry of National Education. To obtain accreditation as a French educational institution abroad, a school must undergo a formal accreditation process coordinated by the AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad). This accreditation certifies that the school delivers the French national curriculum in accordance with the values and standards of the French education system.

As of 1 September 2026, École Française Internationale Auckland has officially become an AEFE partner school, earning French Ministry of Education accreditation for classes from Grande Section (Year 1) through to CE2 (Year 4).
