Lycée international de Calgary’s High School Program prepares students to receive their Alberta High School Diploma and the French Baccalauréat, a diploma awarded by the French Ministry of Education and recognized for university entrance throughout the world.
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.

Testimonials
“We were looking for a full time preschool program that was academically focused and that could challenge her (our daughter)… We toured a lot of schools in our city and we went on a tour for the Lycée and it really just clicked for us. We are an English speaking household and to receive a bilingual education was kind of a forefront for us.”

Lycée’s parent
“(We like) The sense of community, the diverse and dynamic level of education from art and music to science and math, the beautiful, warm and stunningly designed library, and the unique opportunity for our child to have a gateway to the world with the baccalaureate diploma. It is hard not to cry whenever we attend a Lycée event or activity as I just feel so grateful to be able to provide our child with a well-rounded, well-nurtured and well implemented education and future.”

“For me, the favorite thing about school is more of my daughter’s favourite thing about the school. She really loves her teacher, who is incredibly supportive and caring and she loves the after school activities. There is a wide variety of after school activities from cooking to art class to circus.”
