In 2026, Lycée international de Calgaryproudly celebrates our 60th anniversary
Marking six decades as a pioneer of French education and academic excellence in Alberta. Our story began in 1966 as Lycée Louis Pasteur, founded to provide a rigorous education for the children of French energy industry professionals who relocated to Calgary. Since then, we have grown from our specialized roots to become one of Calgary’s most enduring independent schools.
Our journey of transformation reached a pivotal milestone in 1982, when we became a society and opened our doors to welcome Canadian families seeking premier French education. This commitment to our local community was further strengthened in 2000, when we moved to our current home in Altadore. Today, we are home to approximately 470 students from preschool to grade 12. As a proud member of the global AEFE network, we continue to cultivate bilingual citizens ready to shape the future.
