IFBS operates under full authorisation from the Tunisian Ministry of Education, meaning every pupil follows a pathway that is both internationally minded and formally recognised at home, from their first day in Nursery through to their final national examinations.
Full accreditation means IFBS is registered and regularly reviewed by the Ministry of Education, covering everything from the qualifications of our teaching staff to the safety of our buildings and the structure of our academic year. Families can enrol knowing the school meets every requirement set out for private institutions operating in Tunisia.
This oversight sits alongside our international curriculum rather than in competition with it, giving pupils a bilingual, dual-track education that is credible in both the Tunisian system and abroad.
Because our academic programme is aligned with the Tunisian national framework, pupils are free to sit national assessments and can transfer into public or other Tunisian institutions at any stage without losing academic standing. There is no gap between the education a child receives at IFBS and what the Ministry expects of every school in the country.
For families who may relocate or whose plans change, this dual recognition is a safeguard, a Ministry-accredited education keeps every door open, in Tunisia and beyond.
Ministry accreditation is not a formality, it shapes daily life at IFBS: who teaches our pupils, how our year is structured, and what a diploma from our school actually guarantees.
Every teacher meets Ministry requirements for qualification and vetting before stepping into a classroom.
The school is subject to periodic Ministry review of facilities, safety and academic standards.
Certificates and results are valid across the Tunisian education system, not just within IFBS.
Pupils can move between IFBS and other accredited Tunisian schools without repeating years.
