The École française de San Pédro, also known as "Les Hibiscus," is a French international school providing primary and secondary education in San-Pédro, Côte d'Ivoire.
History
[edit]Established in 1987, the École française de San Pédro primarily served French, Lebanese, and other expatriate communities alongside local students.[1] The institution operated under partial management by expatriate families. It offered education from preschool (petite section) through to the ninth grade (troisième), after which students needed to transfer to institutions in Abidjan for higher grades.[2]
The school was affected by the political and economic challenges of the region and closed temporarily. It later reopened under the name École française Jacques-Monod (EFJM) but has yet to regain accreditation from the French Ministry of National Education.[3]
Location
[edit]The school is located in San-Pédro, the capital city of the Bas-Sassandra District in southwestern Côte d'Ivoire, near the Liberian border.[4]
Curriculum and Community
[edit]The curriculum followed French national education standards, offering a continuum from preschool to lower secondary education.[5] While initially focused on expatriate families, the school gradually admitted more local students, reflecting the multicultural makeup of the community.
