French Ministry of Education Accreditation

Excellence. Rigor. Transferability.

DVIS is officially accredited by the French Ministry of Education through the AEFE (Agence pour l’Enseignement Français à l’Étranger). This prestigious accreditation ensures that:

  • Our French curriculum aligns with the Socle Commun des Connaissances, de Compétences et de Culture (Common Base of Knowledge and Skills)

  • Students receive a high-quality, internationally transferable education

  • We employ native-speaking, highly trained educators familiar with French pedagogical standards

  • Families can benefit from seamless academic continuity should they relocate within the AEFE network (over 580 schools in 139 countries)

Our programs maintain bilingual and trilingual balance, integrating French instruction with English and Spanish fluency to meet both the French national requirements and U.S. Common Core compatibility.

Strategic Global Partnerships

In addition to our AEFE affiliation, DVIS continues to grow its partnerships with international organizations aligned with our vision of multidimensional, regenerative, and human-centered education. These include:

  • AFSA (American French Schools Abroad)
