The Lycée’s educational excellence enables our students to thrive around the world, in college and throughout their academic, professional and personal lives. The Lycée Français de Chicago’s educational excellence empowers students to become well-rounded, active global citizens ready to take on tomorrow’s challenges. We educate our students to be responsible citizens of the world who employ critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and adaptability and who act with the utmost integrity.

We teach them to understand diverse cultural nuances, to communicate in multiple languages and to navigate the world with confidence.

About This Cause

First founded in 1995 by a small group of French and American families, the Lycée began as an international school of fewer than 150 students. Twenty years later, our community has grown dramatically, attracting families from around the world who share the value of an academically challenging and culturally diverse education. Families find a second home at the Lycée because of our commitment to a world-class education and fluency in respect, responsibility, and the joy of learning. Today, the Lycée is Chicago’s premier international education community, consisting of nearly 500 families and more than 770 students.
