Though we receive no funding from the French government, we are also accredited by the French Ministry of Education and part of the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE), a network of 535 French schools in 139 countries. Throughout their time at the Lycée, students are prepared to graduate with both an American high school diploma and the renowned French Baccalauréat.
