FRENCH HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM
Our High School Program (Grades 10 to 12) prepares students to receive their Alberta High School Diploma and the French Baccalaureate, a diploma awarded by the French Ministry of Education and recognized for university entrance throughout the world.
With both the Alberta High School Diploma and the French Baccalaureate in hand, students are very well positioned for local or international post-secondary endeavours and future educational success.
To date, over half a million students take the Baccalaureate every year. Many prestigious universities such as McGill and Harvard offer up to a year’s worth of course credits to students with the French Baccalaureate.
STUDY ABROAD
When you enroll your child at the Lycée, you join the AEFE Network, a prestigious network of over 500 schools across 140 countries that teach the French Ministry of Education curriculum.
Lycée students can, therefore, enjoy a trimester or a year abroad in schools around the globe without interruption in their course of study.
Students in Grades 9 to 12 are actively encouraged to take advantage of this invaluable and unique learning opportunity.
