Lycée Français International Georges Pompidou
Lycée Français International Georges Pompidou (LFIGP) is the premier French-speaking school in Dubai, established in 1973. Part of the AEFE global network and recognised by the French Ministry of Education, it offers the French National Curriculum from Maternelle (Petite Section) through to Terminale, leading to the French Baccalauréat and BFI. The school operates across two campuses: Oud Metha (Maternelle, rated Outstanding by KHDA for 8 consecutive years) and Academic City (Élémentaire through Lycée, rated Very Good for 4 consecutive years). LFIGP also offers an International Section with British curriculum and IGCSE from 2nde. The school serves approximately 2,800 students from over 50 nationalities and operates as a non-profit institution.
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Fees are KHDA's approved annual tuition for 2026/2027, unchanged under Dubai's fee freeze; the fact sheets the school hosts itself are still headed 2025-2026. KHDA registers no discount here, so the approved fee is the fee charged. The school runs three establishments under two KHDA licences: the Ecole Maternelle at Oud Metha teaches Petite, Moyenne and Grande Section, and Academic City teaches CP to Terminale. Tuition is published annually and billed over three terms. It excludes the language and sports sections, transport, school outings and trips. Note that three older pages still live on the school's own site publish the 2024-2025 ladder and are being quoted by third-party sites; the figures here are the current ones.
