[4] The schools provide an education based on the French national curriculum for pupils of various cultures from preschool through secondary school, and some receive substantial financial support from the French government.

In addition, the schools have a curriculum linked to the individual countries in which they are established.

The Lycée Français de San Francisco (formerly Lycée Français La Pérouse) and the International School of the Peninsula in San Francisco, for example, include American History and English Literature in its program, and the Lycée Français de Caracas in Venezuela includes History of Venezuela (ICV) from 6th to 9th grade.

[citation needed] In any given academic year, around 160,000 students study in these schools.

While there are no public guidelines for naming schools in the AEFE network, they tend to have some similarities.
