Introducing the international track

NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL TRACK

LFSF is expanding its high quality bilingual offer, adding an IB* powered international track (iTrack) to its offer: students and families can now choose between two tracks!

*LFSF is a Candidate School* for the IB programs, pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that LFSF believes is important for our students.
*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP).  Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.

The international track at a glance

The iTrack is a continuous program that, from Kindergarten/Gr1 to Gr12,  focuses on international-mindedness through multilingualism. Students study in English and are introduced to French, as we believe that communicating in more than one language helps students to appreciate that his or her own language, culture and world view are just one of many. 

The International track includes the PYP (Primary Years Program), the MYP (Middle Years Program) and the DP (Diploma Program) programs of the internationally renowned International Baccalaureate*. 

The International track in Elementary school | PYP (Primary Years Program): 
The program marks the start of the international track. It develops caring and culturally aware children to become active participants in their own learning.

The International track in Middle School | MYP (Middle Years Program)
Building a solid academic foundation, the program develops students’ confidence in managing their own learning and making connections between their learning in the classroom and the real world.

The International track in Middle School | MYP (Middle Years Program) + DP (Diploma Program)

  • Grade 9 and 10 : the MYP program extends into the first two years of High School.
  • Grade 11 and 12:  the future-ready DP program builds students’ inquiring mindset, fosters their desire to learn, and prepares them to excel at their careers and lead meaningful lives.

iTRACK Points of entry

In Fall 2024*, the iTrack will welcome students at several points of entry :

  • In K and Gr1, on the Sausalito campus
  • In Gr6 and 7, on the Ortega campus
  • In Gr9 , on the Ortega campus

At each level, students can start their international journey and expect a continuous program to their bilingual diploma.
