French International School Pondicherry
Grade 6 to 8
The French International School of Pondicherry cultivates its international dimension by favoring the teaching of languages and by developing numerous exchanges and partnerships with other international schools in the country and abroad.
English is taught according to each group’s proficiency level in the language.
Tamil is offered to students as an optional language from grade 6.
German or Spanish can be chosen as the third language in year 8. The geographical knowledge of the territory is supplemented by school outings.
Geography involves both in-class learning through coursework and out-of-class learning through school trips.
The Middle School validates the acquisition of fundamental skills, common knowledge and culture.
The program
The disciplinary programs decline and specify the skills and knowledge of the common base. They are defined by 3-year cycle and organized in a coherent and progressive manner.
End-of-year expectations and annual progress markers should enable teaching teams to conduct rigorous, explicit and progressive teaching throughout compulsory schooling. They help teachers to better organize their year.
In each cycle, the teams decide on a common progression by level to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills.
The cycle 3 program, common to the elementary school and the college, must be the subject of consultation between the schools and the college.
