In France 5 are taught.

America, Oceania, Europe, Asia, Africa

Yeah. Continent conventions are political, not geographical.

Antarctica: am I nothing to you?

(In fairness, there is an argument to be made—though personally I disagree with it—that Antarctica is an archipelago underneath the ice, and shouldn't be a continent for that reason.)

That’s the thing, French schools teach them as political regions, so Antarctica isn’t really mentioned since there aren’t large populations or nation states solely based thete.
