Education and guidance

Find a school or course in French Polynesia

Search by level, island and course using directories from the DGEE education department, the Vice-Rectorate and the University of French Polynesia.

School year and enrolment

A school appearing in a directory does not guarantee that it covers your address, has a place available or currently offers a particular option. Confirm assignment and required documents with the DGEE, your municipality or the school.

Primary education

Preschools and primary schools

The DGEE's 2025–2026 list records public schools with their official UAI identifier, name and municipality. It covers all archipelagos and is the reference directory; enrolment is still handled according to the municipality and the child's circumstances.

New arrivals

Start with your actual home address, the child's current level and the competent school district. Do not sign a lease based only on assumed proximity to a school.

Boarding and outer islands

For some courses, distance between the home island and school means planning boarding, transport and family support in advance.

School holidays

Official dates affect family travel and inter-island transport availability. Recheck the DGEE calendar before booking.
