Education Objectives

Every parent wants his or her child to receive the utmost from their educational experience and to graduate with both the knowledge and life tools they need to thrive in an increasingly complex world. The Lycée Français de New York has long recognized this desire and continues to maintain a curriculum that is rooted in providing a comprehensive academic and social foundation. Specifically, the Lycée combines the best of two pedagogical worlds: Anglo-Saxon and French. Through an excellent, rigorous and encyclopedic education, the school strives to achieve three objectives:

  1. Educate students to be active and responsible citizens
  2. Support every student’s emotional, personal and psychological growth
  3. Provide all students with academic excellence

By pursuing these objectives within a broad curriculum that includes a rich program of artistic and cultural activities, the Lycée endeavors to foster the development of independent, creative minds and instill a strong work ethic. Additionally, the Lycée promotes self-respect and respect of others by advancing an unwavering code of conduct grounded in a community spirit and acceptance of diversity.

Students and parents who choose the Lycée Français de New York should bring a commitment to an enriched bilingual education and to the preservation of these broader objectives that comprise the school’s distinctive program.
