Our History: Cultivating Bilingualism And Francophone Identity In Calgary <\/small><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Lyc\u00e9e international de Calgary stands as a pioneer of French education and academic excellence in Alberta. Our journey began in 1966 as Lyc\u00e9e Louis Pasteur, establishing us as one of Calgary\u2019s most enduring independent schools. While our roots are local, our vision has always been global.<\/span><\/p>

This commitment to an international standard was solidified in 1990 when we joined the AEFE network, anchoring us within a prestigious community of over 600 schools across 138 countries. This partnership enables us to blend the rigorous French Ministry of Education curriculum with Alberta Education standards\u2014creating a dual-track program with no equivalent in the province. We are the first and only school in Alberta where graduates earn both the French Baccalaur\u00e9at and the Alberta High School Diploma.<\/span><\/p>

Since moving to our Marda Loop home in 2000, we have continually evolved to meet the needs of our diverse community. Our evolution was marked by our rebranding to Lyc\u00e9e international de Calgary in 2021 and our physical expansion in January 2025, which added eight new classrooms and a dedicated gymnasium for our youngest learners. Today, from Preschool to Grade 12, we remain dedicated to a future-proof education that combines academic rigour with an authentic multicultural experience, cultivating citizens ready to shape the future.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
