The Lycée Français International Molière de Madrid (Spanish: Liceo Francés Internacional Molière de Madrid), formerly Lycée Français Molière de Villanueva de la Cañada (Spanish: Liceo Francés Molière de Villanueva de la Cañada) is a French international school in Villanueva de la Cañada, Community of Madrid, Spain. It is governed by the rules of foreign system schools ("centros docentes extranjeros" ) in Spain, and French national Education.
The school belongs to the Mission laïque française (MLF) and all levels are accredited ("homologués") by the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), from petite section (2-3 yo) to terminale (final year of lycée, or senior high/sixth form). Besides French, Spanish and English are taught since the earliest age, following the motto of the MLF: “two cultures, three languages”.
The school also has a kindergarten corresponding to the first cycle of Spanish preschool ("primer ciclo de educación infantil", 0–3 years).
It's one of five accredited French schools in and around Madrid, with the Lycée français de Madrid (and annex, in the north-east), Pomme d'Api (level Maternelle only, in the north-east), Saint-Louis des Français (level Primary accredited, catholic school, in the north-west), Union chrétienne de Saint-Chaumond (catholic school for girls, in the north).
Like most French establishments abroad, the school calendar follows the principles of French school rhythms (36 weeks in 5 periods) with adaptations to the local context.
