Our generation faces great challenges: climate change, the development of artificial intelligence, systemic racism, pandemics...The next generation of leaders must understand these problems, connect many disciplines and embrace diversity to find solutions. This is exactly what the Lycée teaches us.

Our Values

Four core values lie at the heart of our mission:

  • Solidarité - Community
  • Épanouissement - Joy
  • Esprit de découverte - Open minds
  • Ténacité - Commitment

Defined by the Lycée community through extensive collaborative work in 2024, these values guide all of our actions in service of the students and school life.
