The quality of a school is defined by its teachers. At Lycée Calgary, our faculty is a major differentiator, bringing the highest standards of French academic rigor and deep personal care to every classroom.
Certified in France,
Teaching to Global Standards
Our commitment to educational excellence begins with recruitment. The majority of our teachers are certified by the French Ministry of National Education and are often recruited through the AEFE network. This ensures unparalleled rigour and expertise across all levels:
Primary Education (Maternelle and Élémentaire)
- Teachers in our Maternelle and Élémentaire (preschool and elementary) sections hold a graduate-level degree. They are trained and certified in France to deliver the curriculum to global French standards.
Secondary Education (Collège and Lycée)
- Our Junior High (Collège) and High School (Lycée) teachers are highly specialized. They typically possess an advanced/graduate degree, frequently a Master’s, in the specific subject they teach.
This depth of knowledge is essential for:- Rigour and Consistency: Teaching to the identical, high standards found in top French schools worldwide. This certification guarantees their expertise in the specific curriculum that leads to the French Baccalauréat.
- Specialized Expertise: Preparing students for rigorous final exams and successful university-level study.
Dedication and Attention: The Lycée Advantage
While holding a prestigious certification is crucial, our faculty is defined by how they teach: with dedication, care, and a focus on the individual student within a supportive setting.
- Teaching with Care and Commitment: Our educators are committed to fostering a welcoming, safe, and caring learning environment where every student feels valued and respected. Our teachers are dedicated not only to the academic success but also to the personal well-being and growth of every child. We prioritize a supportive atmosphere that inspires lifelong learning.
- Focused Attention in Class: Our intentionally set class sizes, the average class size is 18, are a key advantage. This allows our teachers to give students an exceptional degree of individualized attention. They are able to identify and nurture each child’s strengths, provide targeted support where needed, and ensure that every student is actively engaged in the bilingual learning process.
Our students benefit from highly specialized faculty whose qualifications are verified globally. Their professional dedication, combined with the advantage of human-sized classes, guarantees individualized attention and a truly exceptional educational experience rooted in a safe and supportive environment.
