Lycée Montaigne

The school prioritizes student success through an educational approach that values diverse talents and cognitive, affective, and physiological educability. It promotes humanistic values, the republican ideal of "living together," and equal opportunity, while fostering an environment that is inclusive of all diversities, including the accommodation of students with disabilities.

The school follows the French curriculum, offering pathways leading to the Diplôme National du Brevet (DNB), the French Baccalauréat, and the Baccalauréat Français International (BFI), as well as the Lebanese Brevet and Baccalauréat. It provides various language and digital certifications, including Cambridge English, IELTS, DELE for Spanish, PIX for digital skills, and CIMA for Arabic. The academic structure is supported by four educational pathways: the citizen path, the future/orientation path, the health education path, and the arts and cultural education path.

The school reports strong academic results, including a 100% success rate in the 2024 French Baccalauréat, with 91% of students achieving honors. Graduates are prepared for higher education in Lebanon, France, and internationally, supported by a structured orientation program.

The school operates a Pôle Inclusion dedicated to providing personalized support for students with specific needs. This department works in collaboration with educational teams and families to ensure an adapted and inclusive learning environment for all students.

The school manages admissions from Petite Section to Terminale, with campaigns typically launching in December for the following academic year. The process involves submitting a completed online form, providing required identity and academic documents, and attending an interview with the leadership team following entrance tests. Final enrollment is contingent upon the submission of end-of-year academic records and, where applicable, official equivalency or radiation certificates from previous institutions.

The school operates on an annual academic calendar, with the 2025-2026 schedule and official exam dates provided to the community. Families are required to confirm re-enrollment for existing students by the end of December each year to guarantee placement.

The campus features two main buildings (A and B) that have undergone recent renovations, including the creation of new classrooms, a fully equipped computer lab, and a new infirmary. Outdoor facilities include 450 square meters of newly equipped play areas for younger children, a covered courtyard (préau) between buildings, and a developing sports complex. The school is also equipped with 80 solar panels and updated scientific laboratory materials.

The school offers a range of extracurricular activities and maintains an active sports association. Students also participate in a school webradio project and various democratic school instances, such as the Conseil de vie lycéenne (CVL) and Conseil de vie collégienne (CVCO), which foster student engagement and citizenship.
