Two tracks, one goal
Paths built progressively according to the student's goals, in consultation with the family.
National Education Track
The National Education track combines the French curriculum with complementary learning from the American system. Students can, if they wish, prepare for the Brevet and French Baccalauréat in a lighter format, with reduced hours (approximately 4 hours per week for Brevet and 6-7 hours for Baccalauréat).
OFA Lycée Track
This track allows students to fully benefit from American immersion while developing advanced French proficiency up to native level. It does not follow the French National Education track and can lead to the OFA Lycée Bilingual High School Diploma with optional DELF or DALF certification.
Our Mission
Since 2019, OFA Lycée offers expatriate families the opportunity to combine American and French education in a unique bilingual and bicultural program.
Our Mission
A complementary bilingual education with personalized learning, a socio-emotional program, and individual higher education guidance.
Our Vision
Bringing international French education into the 21st century, embracing the recent transformations of our society and the educational world.
Our Concept
Complementarity: what is learned in English at the American school is used to meet the requirements of French programs.
