“Why choose the Lycée Français de Toronto? Will the LFT be a good fit for my child? Can you tell me more about the school, the curriculum, your values?”
When it comes to choose a school for your child, we know there are many questions. Our Admissions team is here to assist you in your decision and guide you through the admission process. You will find many information on our website, and whenever you are ready, we are just a phone call/email away! Let’s chat!
Step 1 ▶︎ Discover LFT
Open House Events: Come visit us during our Open House Events held twice a year, in October and January. It's an excellent opportunity to discover our school, meet our teachers, and our students.
Individual Visits: If you cannot attend the Open House Events, our admissions team is available to schedule individual visits at any time of the year. Take advantage of this opportunity to ask questions about the admission process and our school.
Mid-Year Enrollment: We accept mid-year enrollments based on available spaces.
Eligibility for Non-Francophone Students: We welcome non-French-speaking students in our Kindergarten program, including TPS/PS (PreK), MS (JK), and Grande Section (SK) classes.
Please note that starting from CP/Grade 1, proficiency in French is required for admission (please refer to step 3 for more information).
Step 2 ▶︎ Online application
Families who are interested in applying to LFT are invited to complete an online application on our admissions portal. Your application package is complete once you:
- fill out the forms
- upload the birth certificate
- upload the most recent report cards (for applicants in SK-Grade 12)
- pay $300 non refundable application fee
Step 3 ▶︎ Application and placement test
Upon receipt of the complete application, our Admissions Committee will review your child's application.
For children currently enrolled in a school accredited by the French Ministry of Education, the decision is usually communicated within 4 days.
If your child is attending another school, he/she will be invited to participate in a discovery time (for entry into Kindergarten) or a placement test (for Grades 1 to 12). The decision is then communicated within one week of the test.
Admission in Kindergarten (Pre-K, JK, SK)
Discovery time (30 mins) is a play-and-learn interaction with one of our kindergarten teachers. This assessment will be conducted in the applicant’s preferred language (French or English).
*Candidates for PreK class have to be potty trained
- Admission in Grades 1 to 12
Admissions tests for Grades 1-12 are assessments of French language skills.
Grade 1 candidates have to be able to understand and speak french. No reading or writing skills are required.
For candidates applying in Grades 2-12, both written and oral French skills will be assessed.
Step 4 ▶︎ Decision and registration
Admissions decisions will be communicated via email within a week of the discovery time/admissions test. Spaces for admitted students will be held until the deadline date provided in the Letter of Admission.
Registration is complete when:
- one of the parents has signed the contract online,
- a deposit on tuition fees has been paid (non-refundable).
Step 5 ▶︎ Preparing for the first Back-to-school at LFT
Your child is now enrolled at LFT. A detailed communication will be sent to the families during the summer regarding :
- Books and school supplies
- Hot lunch and pizza Wednesdays
- School bus registration

We are looking forward to welcoming your child to LFT !
