Collège Français de Tel-Aviv Marc Chagall

The school is founded on an 'education to otherness,' which encourages students to move beyond stereotypes, embrace cultural diversity, and develop a sense of belonging to the history of world cultures. It emphasizes a balance between academic excellence and student well-being, fostering a desire to learn through a combination of discovery and the value of effort. The educational approach is deeply rooted in the values of the French Republic and promotes a sense of responsibility and openness toward the host country, Israel.

The school offers a comprehensive French curriculum spanning from preschool (maternelle) through to the 6th grade (6ème). Its academic programme features a strong emphasis on plurilingualism, with instruction in French, Hebrew, and English, and the option to learn a third modern language at the middle school level. The curriculum is structured around several key 'journeys'—including citizen, cultural, health, and future-oriented pathways—and integrates education for sustainable development.

The school aims to develop students into free, responsible, and open-minded citizens who are confident in their talents and knowledge. By combining academic excellence with an education in 'altérité' (otherness), the school prepares students to understand different cultures and contribute to the world as global citizens.

The school maintains an inclusive approach to education, with a dedicated focus on supporting students' individual needs. This includes specific support for non-French speakers to achieve mastery of the French language and a commitment to differentiated pedagogy to help every student progress.

Admission is based on available space and a set of established priorities, with preference given to children of French administration staff, students transferring from other AEFE network schools or French schools, and siblings of current students. Applications must be submitted by specific deadlines throughout the year, and final registration requires payment of a non-refundable first registration fee. Students transferring from non-homologated schools are required to pass an aptitude test for their desired grade level.

The school operates on a schedule aligned with the French academic year. Specific dates and term information are managed through the school's internal calendar, which is accessible to the school community.

Located in the Neve Tsedek neighborhood of Tel Aviv, the campus includes a school library (C.D.I.) and canteen facilities. The school also utilizes digital technologies to support learning and communication across the campus.

The school offers a range of extracurricular activities, including a Sunday school programme and various options under its 'Périscolaire' (after-school) offerings. These activities are designed to complement the academic curriculum and support the school's broader educational goals.
