We offer an optional hot lunch service for families. Sign up today and make your morning rush easier!
HOT LUNCH PROGRAM
We are beyond excited to introduce Cafet’ Bountiful’ (Cafet’ is short for cafeteria in French), a fresh take on school lunches that will change the way we think about lunch. Our partnership with Bountiful Chef brings a new level of creativity and nutrition to our students’ midday meals.
Not Your Average School Lunch
Say hello to a lunch experience that will surprise and delight you. The skilled culinary team at Bountiful Chef will create meals that are not only healthy and balanced but also visually appealing and packed with flavour. From globally inspired dishes to classic favourites with a twist, every meal will be an opportunity to explore new tastes and textures.
Learning Through Food
At Lycée, we recognize the power of food to educate and inspire. Cafét’ Bountiful is seamlessly integrated into our curriculum, providing learning experiences that go beyond the plate. Throughout the year, all students will have the chance to engage in discussions and activities about food sustainability and traditions. By connecting food with learning, we aim to empower our students to make informed choices and develop a lifelong appreciation for healthy eating.
More than Just a Meal
Cafét’ Bountiful is an investment in our community. By providing a space where students can come together over a shared meal, we aim to foster connections, encourage dialogue, and build a sense of belonging. We believe that the relationships formed in the lunchroom can be just as valuable as those formed in the classroom.
Get ready to experience lunch in a whole new and delicious way !
Registration can be made for the entire year or prior to the start of each trimester. More information about the cost of the Hot Lunch Program is available here.

Lycée international de Calgary emphasizes academic excellence, responsible citizenship, along with physical, intellectual and emotional well-being for all students.
Competitive Sports Teams
Is your child a budding athlete? We think they would look great in a Phoenix uniform.
Phoenix Teams are Lycée Calgary’s competitive sports teams – open to students in grades 7 through 12. These teams compete against other private schools in Calgary throughout the school year.
Competitive sports teams include basketball, golf, badminton, cross-country, track and field, and soccer.
CLIMBING WALL
Lycée international de Calgary is proud to be one of the only schools in Calgary with an indoor climbing wall for student use. Rock climbing tests both physical and mental abilities, making it a great activity for students as they can learn new problem-solving skills.
The Lycée’s ACMG (Association of Canadian Mountain Guides) certified climbing instructor guides students through various climbing routes, games and activities designed to develop climber’s confidence, both on and off the wall.
Students from 3-years-old to Grade 4 learn to use our state-of-the-art TRUBLUE belays – a fully automatic system giving the climber the freedom to climb the wall safely without the need for a ground belayer*. Students also learn basic climbing/movement techniques, helping them progress as climbers.
Students in Grade 5 and above learn “Top Rope Climbing” – a style of roped climbing where the climber is attached to a rope that leads to the top of the wall, allowing them to climb up while attached to a ground belayer below. Students learn more advanced climbing techniques – allowing them to climb more efficiently and progress up to more difficult walls/climbing routes.
*All Lycée climbing equipment (harnesses, ropes, belays, holds, etc) is carefully and thoroughly inspected on a regular basis by our ACMG certified instructor.

Technology at Lycée
With the use of technology ever increasing, the Lycée prepares students for the responsibilities and the reality of digital citizenship. The school works closely with faculty and parents to ensure students are ready for tomorrow’s digital world.
The Lycée currently has iPads and Macbooks dedicated for student use. Each grade level is distributed a number of iPads, based on need and number of students, that are used for individual and/or group work.
All classrooms are equipped with a projector and screen, and most have AppleTVs and interactive whiteboards.
Students in Grades 6 -12 are lent a Macbook for the school year. Students in Grade 5 and below have access to an iPad (1:1) that can be used during class time (at the teacher’s discretion), or for homework or Distance Learning (as needed).
Online safety is an important component of technology use; especially in today’s world of social media. Students take part in regular internet safety workshops that teach best practices while online, techniques to protect personal information and the importance of their digital footprint.
SOFTWARE
Student, Teacher & Parent Communication
Seesaw is a classroom software used by the 3-year-old to Grade 5 classes to keep track of classroom work activities. Parents are given login information each year and teachers regularly post messages (reminders, homework, photos of classwork) on the platform. Parents can see homework, school projects, and communicate directly with the teacher as needed.
Pronote is a French school administration software used in Grade 6 and above. The software allows administrators to create student and teachers timetables, view room availability, assign homework, track attendance, etc. It also contains parents’ contact information and is used to send out report cards. Teachers, administration, students and parents are provided with usernames and passwords at the beginning of the school year.
Google Classroom is also used by teachers and students in grades 6 to 12 for classwork, group work and homework.
