Lycée Français Jean Renoir

The Lycée Jean Renoir is part of the AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad) network and follows the curriculum of the French Ministry of National Education. It integrates Bavarian Ministry of Education requirements regarding German language, culture, and civilization. The school emphasizes a bilingual approach, particularly in the elementary school where instruction is split equally between French and German.

The school offers a comprehensive French curriculum from Maternelle (TPS to GS) through Lycée (Seconde to Terminale). In the elementary school, classes are co-taught by French and German teachers, with subjects like history, geography, and science taught in German. The secondary level follows the French collège and lycée structure, preparing students for the Baccalauréat and offering specialized language pathways and certifications.

The school reports a 100% success rate for the Baccalauréat. Students are prepared for internationally recognized language certifications, including the Deutsches Sprachdiplom (DSD I and DSD II), the Cambridge certificate, and the DELE. The DSD II certification, in particular, qualifies students for admission to higher education institutions in Germany.

The school provides support for students with special educational needs. Additionally, in the elementary school, when German teachers are leading lessons, French teachers provide targeted support in other classes to ensure continuous learning.

Applications for the 2026-2027 school year are processed through the online platform EDUKA. For kindergarten, families must first register via the Munich "Kita Finder" before completing the school's online application. Admissions for elementary, middle, and high school levels are managed directly through the EDUKA portal. Prospective families are required to provide specific documentation, including medical certificates for students entering CP (first grade).

The school operates on a Monday-to-Friday schedule, with weekends off. The academic year typically runs from early September to early July, featuring standard breaks for All Saints' Day, Christmas, winter holidays, Easter, and spring holidays. A supervised study service is available, and the "Münchner Elche" sports association organizes a holiday center for primary students during specific vacation periods.

The school operates across two distinct campuses in Munich. The primary campus (maternelle and élémentaire) is located in the Giesing district at Ungsteinerstr. 50, while the secondary campus (collège and lycée) is situated in the Sendling district at Berlepschstraße 3. Both sites are equipped with networked computer facilities, including dedicated computer rooms, and the secondary campus houses a Centre de Documentation et d’Information (CDI).

The school offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including sports, cultural clubs, and workshops for secondary students. Primary students have access to supervised study and various périscolaire (after-school) workshops. The school also hosts a Model United Nations (MUN) club, participates in international simulations, and engages in programs such as "Ambassadeurs en herbe" and "Éco-École." Additionally, students participate in school trips and sports competitions throughout the year.
