Lycée High is the perfect conclusion of the bilingual and international education provided at the Lycée. It prepares our multilingual students for universities across the world, but is before and foremost an excellent preparation for U.S. universities and colleges, as 60% of our Seniors choose to continue their studies in North America.
Lycée students are global minded and can graduate with two diplomas: the French Baccalaureate (or Bac) and the U.S. High School diploma. Many students opt to fulfill requirements for the U.S. high school diploma by taking additional required courses. and in many cases, our students select its prestigious and rigorous Baccalaureat Français International.
The French Track is a language immersion program: about 80% of the curriculum is taught in French and students need to be comfortable in that language in order to learn successfully. In order to properly assess their level, applicants may be required to test to confirm their ability to thrive in our French Track program.
If you are interested in our International School but your child does not have any French language, you may consider our International Track program for which there is no French language requirement.
Contact us to learn if the French track is the best fit for your child, and/or check out our international Track program.
