At Lycée Calgary, a world of opportunity opens for our graduates. Our distinctive, rigorous education is a proven pathway to success, marked by acceptance into top-tier universities across Canada and the globe.
The Dual-Credential Edge
Lycée graduates stand out to admissions teams worldwide by earning two powerful diplomas: the internationally-recognized French Baccalauréat and the Alberta High School Diploma.
This rare dual credential signals:
- Global Rigour: The Baccalauréat is renowned for its high academic standards, indicating the exceptional discipline, critical thinking, and depth of knowledge required for university-level success.
- Alberta High School Diploma: Not only does this diploma demonstrate academic achievement in Canada, it also acts as proof of English proficiency for English-language universities.
- Proven Success: Lycée alumni have excelled at prestigious institutions worldwide, pursuing demanding fields like medicine, engineering, science, and business.
The Baccalauréat Advantage in Canada
The French Baccalauréat does more than just ensure admission in Canada—it creates powerful, measurable advantages for our students in Canada, Europe or anywhere:
- Universal Acceptance: All major Canadian universities recognize and admit students with the French Baccalauréat.
- Advanced Standing & Credits: Many Canadian and international universities grant transfer credits (first-year university credits) based on strong Baccalauréat results. This allows students to skip introductory courses, choose advanced electives sooner, and often complete their degree faster—saving both time and tuition fees.
- Enhanced Program Access: Graduates can apply to all the same programs as their peers, often with the possibility of direct entry into specialized or advanced streams.
Our structured curriculum ensures that Lycée Calgary graduates are not just ready for university; they are ready to excel on the global stage.
