F.A.Q.

All non-Indonesian students must have either a Dependent KITAS* or a Student KITAS* visa to attend school in Indonesia. This is also backed up by the Indonesian education department, as the government’s student database requires that a KITAS number is listed for non-Indonesian citizens in order to enable a student number to be assigned to them.

Students who have parents on a Working KITAS will be eligible for a Dependent KITAS. Any non-Indonesian student not eligible to access a KITAS through a working parent will need to apply for a Student KITAS to legally attend school in Indonesia. The French school of Bali (LFB) must comply with these government requirements, in terms of upholding an expectation that all non-Indonesian students accepted as students at our school either have a KITAS (be it Dependent or Student) or have a KITAS application in process at the time of entering the school.

The foundation legally responsible for LFB is able to provide sponsorship for Student KITAS applicants. This means that if the student is enrolled at LFB, the school will act as a sponsor by applying for the Student KITAS through our immigration account, via the agent we are working with.

The foundation is only able to sponsor Student KITAS for students enrolled at LFB; sponsorship does not cover siblings not enrolled at school, nor parent visas. Sponsorship is contingent upon all codes of conduct, tuition payment policies and enrolment agreements being adhered to.

Once your application is finalised, we will put you in touch with our visa agent who will help you organise the required visa.

Non-French speaking students are assisted along their stay at LFB by our FLSCO teacher (specialised teacher) for a better appropriation of the French language, adapted to their schooling.

The welcoming tactics of all students arriving with very various linguistic backgrounds, as well as the differentiation within current language lessons, allow each student to easily find his or her place, feel at ease in the sessions, and grow very quickly.

Multilingual projects with an active, vibrant, and engaging pedagogy allow for rapid advancement.

For the time being, this is not the school community’s option, and it does not relate to the demands of French schools in France or overseas, nor to the specific needs of LFB children. Our students frequently wear sportswear that is useful, practical, and comfortable, as well as displaying the LFB logo.

The French baccalaureate is of very high standard, higher than the International Baccalaureate (IB), and allows our students to enter english language universities if they have a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or Cambridge IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) certification. These certifications are produced at the LFB for students who choose to pursue them. Many International colleges are looking for candidates with a proven track record from the French baccalaureate.

Because there is no required schooling until the age of six, kindergarten pupils absences are tolerated. Early departures or leaves of absence outside of the School intervals are generally detrimental from the CP onwards and are therefore strongly discouraged. It should also be emphasized that the awarding of scholarships is conditional on attendance at school.

The LFB does not have a kitchen, however La Cantina offers catering options so that parents do not have to cook meals for their children.

The test is not required for kindergarten or pre-school entry; children from other systems are admitted on the basis of an internal level test beginning in the second grade. Children who do not speak French when they arrive will eventually learn through interactions and communication circumstances within their group, with the assistance of specific arrangements (personalized assistance, French as a language of schooling FLSCO).

That is not recommended. That is what a teacher and a school are for! Why not allow the child grow at their own pace within their group and share their amazing discoveries with their class and classmates? Parents do not always have the abilities and are not always in a good position to teach their child to read, which can be a difficulty, especially if the child lacks the basic preliminaries, which are gradually taught in Kindergarten.

To ensure a positive classroom environment, eliminate noise pollution, lack of attention, cheating, and, in rare cases, harassment.
