The only French school in Zaragoza: private, secular and trilingual, it has worked in Aragon for more than fifty years and teaches children from two to eighteen. The school belongs to the Mission laïque française network, follows the official programmes of the French ministry of education and is recognised by the Spanish one. The language of instruction is French, French subjects are taught by native speakers, some of them civil servants of the French ministry. English starts at the age of two, while Spanish language and literature, and in the upper years social studies too, follow the Spanish programme with Spanish teachers. Graduates get a double result: the French baccalauréat and access to Spanish universities, and along the way the French Brevet and the Spanish ESO certificate. In languages pupils sit Cambridge English, DELF and DELE. In primary school there are no marks, only records of skills acquired, and homework takes 15-30 minutes a day. The school runs trips from the first years and exchanges from the 3rd year of ESO: Paris, Cluny, Paimpol, Florence, Varna, Casablanca, Alexandria. According to the school, it has received the Eco-Escuela and Escuela Ecoresponsable certificates and the title of UNICEF friend school. The school itself reports 100 percent of pupils passing the Spanish university entrance exam.

AEFEAgency for French Education Abroad
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 has been through this organisation's accreditation. It was judged as a whole: governance, safeguarding, staff, premises, teaching. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it.

Mission laïque française (MLF) is a French non-profit association founded in 1902; its school network is called Réseau mlfmonde. The network gives different figures on its own pages - 108 schools in 38 countries on some, 107 schools in 37 countries on another, with more than 61,000 students in both cases - and we quote both. In Spain the network lists 10 lycées, in Alicante, Murcia, Palma, Reus, Seville, Telde (Gran Canaria), Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Valladolid, Villanueva de la Cañada (Madrid) and Zaragoza. In a notice dated 21 September 2026, MLF writes that since 1 September 2026 the day-to-day management of its Spanish schools has been entrusted to the association AFLEC-GEE under a management mandate, refers to 9 schools, and says the legal transfer of each will be completed by 31 July 2028 at the latest. The notice does not say which of the ten schools is not among the nine. The network's site is mlfmonde.org.
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.

No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
