The Lycée is a member of the network of the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), which is the largest school network in the world. It offers expatriate families, whatever their nationality, the possibility of ensuring the continuity of their children’s education, despite international moves.
France is the country with the largest school network beyond its borders. It has 495 establishments, located in 137 countries, and educates more than 342,000 students.
These establishments are carriers of universal values – tolerance, humanism, equal opportunities, intellectual curiosity, promotion of critical thinking… – and make it possible to follow an education without interruption, from kindergarten to the baccalaureate, i.e. from 3 to 18 years old. . Thanks to their membership in a dynamic, attractive and open network, they offer internationally recognized training.
For 20 years, this network has recorded an increase of more than 50% in its numbers, a sign of the quality of the education offered.
The network is financed to a large extent by the French State, which makes it possible to keep tuition fees at a reasonable level for families.
The success of all constitutes a stated ambition in all the establishments of the network which can claim an excellent success rate for the baccalaureate (96% on average, 100% in many establishments), higher than that of high schools in France. Most of the baccalaureate holders in the network then go on to the Grandes Ecoles and the best international universities.
Places of exchange and linguistic and cultural encounters, vectors of a shared experience based on strong values, the AEFE establishments educate young people from all walks of life. Pilot language teaching makes it possible to integrate national students through specific teaching of French, to teach the language of the host country to all students and to promote the practice of English and other languages international in a multicultural context.
By welcoming among its students (more than 60% of the total) children from the host countries and third-party foreigners, the network contributes to the influence of the French language and culture. By cultivating intercultural communication and understanding, it forges lasting affinities between these students and France.
