Since 1995, the Lycée Français de Chicago has provided a world-class education to American and international students in a unique multicultural environment. The curriculum from Pre-K to 8th grade is based on the renowned French national system. In high school, students choose between two rigorous and highly regarded programs: the French Baccalaureate or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. All graduates earn two diplomas: a U.S. high school diploma alongside their chosen international baccalaureate, preparing them for top universities worldwide. No prior knowledge of French is required for admission to most grade levels.

EFAC, the French-American School of Chicago offers the French Ministry of National Education’s scholastic program, integrated within the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system. The school covers all levels from Kindergarten to 12th grade (with certification through the French level CM2 and the opportunity to take the French section of the French Baccalauréat). EFAC is located in the dynamic and family-oriented Lincoln Park neighborhood.
