Message from the Director
Philippe Salis, director of the international school Le Flamboyant
Dear Parents,
Welcome to our school's website.
Le Flamboyant International School will soon celebrate its fortieth anniversary! We are a well-established school here in Yaoundé. Initially affiliated with the Network of International Schools, Le Flamboyant became a partner school of the Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Etranger (AEFE) (Agency for French Education Overseas) and thus joined this worldwide network, which comprises more than 360,000 students in 540 schools across 138 countries.
Wherever you go, you will always find a school from the network not far from your location, and you can enroll your child without having to undergo a competency mastery test.
About Our School
Founded by a group of parents in the 1980s, the school has grown significantly. Thanks to the determination of these parents, it has remained a small-scale institution, as each class can accommodate no more than 17 students, totaling 150 students. With representation from over 25 nationalities, our multicultural community led us to establish a Charter for the Parents' Association of the school, which I invite you to read here. It will explain our values, our commitments, and our approach to education.
The school comprises 9 sections, including 4 in preschool, ranging from Very Small Section (TPS - 2 years) to Grand Section (GS - 5 years), and 5 in elementary, from Cours Préparatoire (CP - 6 years) to Cours Moyen 2 (CM2 - 10 years). Upon completing their education at the school, our students have the opportunity to continue at the French middle and high school in Yaoundé.
Enrollment, Teaching Team, and Future Projects
The small class size is a determining factor in creating conducive conditions for success. A stable and well-trained teaching team, equipped through both initial and ongoing training, is also a cornerstone of the quality of our education. This year, the school welcomes two new teachers, and we extend a warm welcome to them.
As we enter the third year of our school project, we are committed to implementing cultural and civic pathways that guarantee an education emphasizing respect, mutual assistance, and openness.
The institution follows the French curriculum and has expanded foreign language courses: a special dispensation from the Agency (AEFE) has allowed for a more intensive study of the English language. An engaging approach to English is introduced as early as the Preschool Very Small Section and continues with 6 hours per week from Cours Préparatoire to Cours Moyen 2.
Because parents entrust us with their most precious, we are aware of the responsibility that falls upon us. We make every effort to provide a secure environment that fosters the success of each individual in the joy of learning.
Happy school year 2024 – 2025!
Philippe Salis
