French Department
“Vouloir, c’est pouvoir!”
“To wish is power!”

Our Aims
The French Department aims to equip students with the basic skills of the language and build confidence to communicate in French. Students gradually learn to understand written and spoken French and to communicate in speech and in writing.
Our approach is very interactive, using a variety of activities. Our small classes enable more one-to-one support. We try to make learning even the trickiest grammar and pronunciation points fun and therefore memorable.
We encourage an understanding of French culture, via online links, cultural events in KL and particularly via our exchange programme with our partner school near Bordeaux, France.
In addition to developing their communication skills, students also develop the ability to analyse language. Students search for clues in texts which at first sight seem daunting, persevering until they understand the key message and important details. We tackle the challenges together, making the study of French accessible and stimulating for all.
Our Curriculum
When students join us in Year 7, most are complete beginners. Everyone soon gets under way, in a supportive environment which rewards effort, not just achievement. At Key Stage 3, we study topics covering many aspects of everyday life, gradually building a bank of grammar knowledge as we go, including the use of the present, past and future tenses. Students are actively encouraged to make links in their learning, practising and building on prior knowledge, supported by their easy-reference folders.
The IGCSE course at Key Stage 4 builds on the foundations of Key Stage 3, revisiting some previous topics using more complex language and adding more adult topics, such as relationships, health issues and the environment. As at Key Stage 3, we constantly work to develop all four language skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing, all of which are given equal weighting in the IGCSE examinations. Students are trained to understand longer, more challenging texts and to express themselves at greater length, using more sophisticated and varied language and structures. The majority of our students achieve high grades at IGCSE.

















We visited numerous international schools in Klang-Valley and Sri KDU Subang Jaya was not even on our list. Reason being it is way out of our travelling radius. However, we are glad we made the visit to the school before our final call, and it was the best decision ever! It was a huge transition period for us during the first 2 weeks into school, but the school’s team (Teachers, Administrative and Parent’s Teacher Association) made us feel right at home. We were given clear guidance and was kept well informed on the happenings in the school. My daughter blended into the community quite well with the care provided by the Homeroom teacher. All the teachers here are the kindest, as she told me. She looks forward to going to school and has become more disciplined in terms on knowing what tasks she needs to complete daily. She has gained so much confidence during this short period of time and was given the encouragement to explore and develop her abilities here. She was just selected as the new Primary House Captain for Year 6 AY2022/2023.
Every parent want to find the ‘perfect’ school for their child and are afraid of making the wrong decision. For us, as long she is safe and happy, we believe, she will eventually find the way to her own success.
