International learning
A global curriculum that builds bilingual, culturally agile thinkers.
The Lycée Français de Toronto follows the official French national curriculum, recognised worldwide for its structure, depth, and intellectual rigor.
At the same time, our students benefit from a strong English program aligned with Canadian expectations, creating a powerful bilingual foundation.
The French Curriculum

The French curriculum offers:
- a clear progression of skills from Kindergarten to Grade 12,
- strong foundations in math, sciences, humanities, and languages,
- high expectations in reasoning, analysis, and writing,
- national standards consistent across 600+ French schools worldwide.
It develops disciplined, independent thinkers who are well-prepared for university-level study.
English Program at The Lycée

Our English program is taught by native English-speaking teachers and provides:
- deep reading and writing instruction,
- exposure to literature, media, and nonfiction texts,
- vocabulary and grammar foundations aligned with Ontario expectations,

By Middle School and High School, students engage with complex texts and write with clarity and precision, preparing them for English-speaking universities.
Languages & Certifications

Multilingualism is seen as a strength: cognitive, academic, and cultural.
