Tallinn French School

Tallinn French School or Tallinn French Lyceum, is a co-educational comprehensive secondary school in Tallinn, Estonia. It offers primary (years 1-9) and secondary education (years 10-12). Students perform consistently well in national exams, often placing the school in the national top 5. Present day Students learn three foreign languages from an early age: French from year one, Russian from year three and English from year four. Former principal Lauri Leesi believes the school is neither an arts nor a science school, it's a school where all knowledge is equally important. The school has a policy regarding academic attendance: extracurricular activities are encouraged, but only outside class times. Students are taught to appreciate the many forms of art, from being able to recognise and place paintings and artists to going to the theatre to enjoy a concert or a ballet. Ballroom dance is taught as part of the curriculum, culminating with the annual Spring Ball.
