As we reach the midpoint of the academic year, we can already share exciting news about our Class of 2025 and their early college admissions results. The quality of these results certainly demonstrate how well-tailored college choices are to each student’s aspirations as well as the remarkable availability, and expertise of Lycée teachers and college counselors. However, the challenge does not end with college admissions and the ability to adapt and succeed in the new university environment is just as critical.

Our students participated in the AAEH contest

The theme of the 2025 edition is 'Francophonie: A Journey Through Time and Space'. Our students tackled this challenging topic with great skill, exploring what the French-speaking world means to them and the difficult, often problematic conditions under which it was formed.

UPCOMING EVENTS

CONVERSATIONS THAT MATTER [4]: Preparing Parents for Back To School

May 14, 2025, from 6-7:30pm

On Zoom | RSVP HERE

We don’t know about you, but here at the Lycée - both in our work and in our personal lives - we’re already starting to think about the next school year (and by “think,” we mean not just imagining it, but also trying to plan... and sometimes feeling a little worried and overwhelmed in the process). Back-to-school season - and even the pre-season (A.K.A right now) - can be full of excitement, but also stress, especially for families with young children or students entering new stages like preschool, elementary, or middle school. In this session, we’ll offer insights and practical tools to help parents feel more confident and grounded as they support their children through these important transitions.
