Lycée Français

Founded in 1689, the school is the oldest French lycée in the AEFE network and is dedicated to fostering a multicultural environment based on openness, respect, collaboration, and critical thinking. It aims to provide a multilingual education that helps students discover their talents and develop into engaged, enlightened global citizens. The school serves as a significant example of Franco-German friendship.

The school follows the curricula of the French Ministry of Education alongside the Berlin framework curricula. Academic offerings include comprehensive instruction in information technology, ranging from robotics workshops in CM2 and 6ème to programming (Blockly, Scratch, Python) and digital technology courses (TIC, SNT) in the Collège and Lycée. Students also have access to specialized subjects and international programmes, including Erasmus+ and the Berlin Euro Parlement simulation.

The school prepares its 810 students for five distinct qualifications: the Diplôme National du Brevet, the Mittlerer Schulabschluss (MSA), the Baccalauréat, the Abitur, and the Abibac. Graduates go on to pursue diverse and demanding higher education pathways in French, German, or English across Europe and globally.

The school provides support for students in specific academic areas, such as weekly tutoring sessions for those taking the NSI specialty via the CNED. It also emphasizes digital literacy and safety, with students receiving instruction on information technology, programming, and data protection throughout their schooling.

The school accepts students of French, German, and other nationalities. Prospective families should refer to the online application form available on the school's website to begin the admissions process.

The school year typically begins in early September. The academic calendar includes various examination periods for the DNB, MSA, Baccalauréat, and Abitur, as well as scheduled school holidays.

The campus is located at Derfflingerstr. 7 in Berlin and includes facilities shared with the Ecole Voltaire. The school features a library (CDI), an auditorium for performances, and specialized spaces for its various academic and extracurricular programmes. Students have access to locker rentals and a canteen.
