HISTORY
The French-Cypriot School of Nicosia (EFCN) is the successor to the Arthur Rimbaud French school which had been operating in Cyprus since 1987, and in 2012 was transformed from a purely French school into a French-Cypriot school with the aim of promoting French and Cypriot cultures and languages within a European and international context. The school is part of the International Association of the French schools abroad (AEFE).
Education at EFCN is based on the humanitarian values on which French civilisation is based. Its fundamental characteristics include critical thinking, rationality and flexibility, as well as the cultivation of respect for cultural diversity, tolerance and co-existence. This approach aims at equipping students with the virtues and skills that will allow them to adapt smoothly to the modern, multicultural environment.[/penci_text_block][/penci_column][/penci_container][/vc_column][/vc_row]
