We've been very happy during our 8 years with the American Section at the Lycée International. I'm pleased my children can learn about American culture in France. The community is kind and supportive. The teachers do all they can to individualize the lessons to those who are struggling. It's a caring environment. Parents volunteer a lot to help celebrate American holidays. My husband volunteers as a coach in soccer, which is our favorite sport. We're happy to enjoy another 4 years in this community.

This school was the perfect place for my three children. Not only did it give them an excellent French education, they also received a fabulous American education, and are now perfectly bilingual and bicultural. They were able to integrate top North American universities effortlessly. The international aspect of the Lycée is a huge plus, as is the emphasis placed on American culture and traditions in the American Section.

I'm a parent in the American Section, which we chose after exhaustive research in both the Paris area and more broadly in France. It's a unique combination of native English-language instruction and a full French education at the (public) Lycee International - a winning combination. School consistently ranks among France's top 10. Main building on main campus completely redone in 2019. State-of-the-art gym, sports fields, climbing wall.
