In fact, the rating of Good seems a little unkind on first review. This is the minimum rating that Dubai schools are expected to achieve by the KHDA, which has taken active steps to prevent students attending schools rated Acceptable and Weak. The first inspection of LFJM was postponed by one year as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic, but when it did finally take place in March 2022, the school achieved a Good rating - the highest rating given to schools on their first inspection. There are two large covered outside play areas with play equipment for younger students.
Outdoor facilities include a semi-Olympic size swimming pool, two sports fields, and two gymnasiums. Located in the Al Qouz area, close to the main residential areas of Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim but with easy access to the Al Khail Road, the purpose-built campus includes a 300-seat auditorium, two libraries, three laboratories, and a canteen. The school uses the Cambridge curriculum to supplement English provision and students’ achievement in lessons is good in Primaire and very good in Collège. According to the DISB inspection team, when compared to the national French curriculum standards, the attainment of students in English is excellent. The majority of students start the school as non-English speakers in Maternelle. Students study French, English and Arabic from CM. The school follows the French National Curriculum and is accredited by the French Ministry of Education through the Agence pour l’enseignement français à l’étranger (AEFE). The school opened in 2017 with just 170 students from PS to CE2.Īre you a parent, teacher or student at Lycée Français Jean Mermoz? LFJM Principal, Thomas Dentinger, planned to bring in teacher teamwork ideas such as pair-observation, morning briefings to "challenge and improve best practice at LFJM." Certainly it would seem, in its fourth year of operation, LFJM has been successful in recruiting students - at the time of the school's first KHDA inspection in March 2022 (delayed one year by the Covid 19 pandemic), almost 1,000 students attended the school from Petite Section, (preKG) to 4ème (Grade 8 equivalent)) - 3ème will open in August 2022. Read WSA's Har d Hat Tour of Lycée Français Jean Mermoz here!Īs noted in WSA's Hard Hat Tour, the hope is for this school to "introduce more 'global' ideas" to the traditional French curriculum. On opening, the school limited classes per grade level to four in order to "promote the development and well-being of students." Lycée Français Jean Mermoz's foundation of study focuses on three main areas of student development: student autonomy, world citizenship, and the cultural and physical development of the child.
Two other schools - the Lycée Libanais and International Concept for Education (ICE) - both largely supported by Lebanese interests and families, also offer the French curriculum, but LFJM - although accepting students from a wide range of nationalities - was clearly established to fill the gap the two original schools could not, due to simple lack of capacity. Traditionally, French families sent their children either to the Lycée Français Georges Pompidou or AFLEC - both of which were consistently full. Lycée Français Jean Mermoz (LFJM) is arguably the fifth French school to open in Dubai and the most recent. Lycée Français Jean Mermoz, located in Al Quoz 1, opened in September 2017 and offers the French Curriculum taught in French in conjunction with English and Arabic.
