It runs the network of French schools worldwide, while the accreditation itself, the homologation, is granted by the French education ministry and inspected by French state inspectors. A leaver from a homologated school moves into a school in France without an entrance examination. Homologation is granted stage by stage, so it sometimes covers only part of the year groups.
What the badge means for this school. The school belongs to this organisation but has not been through its accreditation. The difference matters: membership is usually paid for and has no external inspection behind it. The entry is confirmed in the organisation's open directory.

A school is homologated by the French ministry of education, and a leaver may move into a school in France without entrance tests. Homologation is granted stage by stage, so it sometimes covers only part of the year groups.
What this means for this school. Which year groups of this school are covered by homologation - only the primary ones, or all the way to the final year - is not stated here. The difference matters: it decides whether the school takes a child through to the French baccalaureate or hands them on to another school halfway.
Acacia Education - a group of French nurseries and maternelle schools, working for seventeen years and a member of the AEFE network. The group has five campuses: Bangkok Sukhumvit and Bangkok Sathorn in Thailand, Hanoi Tay Ho and Hanoi Long Bien in Vietnam, and Phnom Penh in Cambodia. They take children from one and a half to six years old on two programmes: a French-English bilingual one following the requirements of the French education ministry, and an international English-language one joining the British EYFS framework with the Montessori method. The group was founded by Eugénie and Christophe Galian.
What this means for this school. The network owns or operates the school. Its accreditation and programme authorisation the school obtains separately, in its own name.
