Acceptance Criteria and Testing

 

Acceptance to the American Section at Lycée International is based on overall academic achievement and the likelihood of success in the dual-culture, bilingual education program.

In addition, we seek to enroll students who have:

  • Native or near-native level English language proficiency (vocabulary, language skills, and reading ability)
  • Affinity with American culture

French language skills are not a requirement for applicants to the French-language immersion. There are, however, specific academic criteria to be met.

Testing in English is required at most levels (see below for the 2025-2026 dates).

All favorable recommendations are submitted to the Proviseur (Headmaster) of the French school for final approval.

Once a student has been accepted, an official acceptance letter will be mailed to parents.

Students are officially registered once completed paperwork has been returned and the registration fee and advance deposit paid.

Testing Dates: Winter/Spring 2025

Dates to be determined.  Please check back in November 2024.

Français Spécial

Children who have limited French may qualify for Français Spécial (FS), the Lycée International’s specially designed French-adaptation course.

Offered in one’s first year at the school, Français Spécial builds written and spoken French so that students may join regular classes held in French the following year.

Français Spécial classes are offered from second through tenth grade (CE1–2nde).
