I have spent the last 6 years attending classes here — from a Covid 6th grader to now graduating. Without OFA I likely wouldn’t have gotten into my dream school, nor feel close enough to my French side to have even applied. (Specifically a shout out to M. Olivier Saint-Vincent who has now become like an uncle to me)

Online French-American School – Family & Student Experiences
Authentic testimonials from students, alumni, and parents
They lived the French online school experience with OFA Lycée — and share it here. This page brings together authentic testimonials from students, alumni, and parents who chose OFA Lycée to pursue an excellent French education, wherever they live in the world.
You will discover very diverse journeys: students expatriated in the United States, Canada, Europe, or Asia who prepared their French Baccalauréat from abroad; elite athletes, dancers, musicians, or young artists who balanced training, tours, or competitions with a rigorous curriculum; binational or itinerant families who found at OFA Lycée the academic stability their children needed; students returning to France after several years abroad, admitted seamlessly to their new school thanks to our alignment with the French national curriculum.
Each testimonial illustrates in its own way what makes our model valuable: a rigorous French academic framework, a simultaneous dual schooling model unique in the world (French + local), personalized human support in very small groups (4 to 8 students), and a geographic flexibility that allows every family to pursue its projects without compromising education.
What you will find here:
- testimonials from students who prepared the French Baccalauréat remotely
- feedback from expatriated and binational parents
- stories of elite athletes enrolled at OFA Lycée
- experiences of dancers, musicians, and young artists
- students' journeys returning to France without academic disruption
- Google reviews and recommendations from OFA Lycée families
These stories will help you better understand the concrete reality of a French online school — beyond institutional presentations, these are the voices of those who lived it.
