BECOMING BILINGUAL
Learning an additional language – and becoming immersed in both the language and the culture – helps children learn deeply, become more creative and open-minded, and be prepared for life far beyond the classrooms of the Lycée Français de New York. Learn more about the advantages of bilingualism.
"I have four daughters at the Lycée, and my husband is an alumnus. We have such appreciation for the nurturing and balanced environment at the Lycée, and for the opportunity our daughters have to learn in such a diversity of cultures, backgrounds and experiences."
MARIANA ABBADI, PARENT
"My friends from the Lycée are still my best friends today, and they are from all around the world. That's a huge advantage for us. Everyone does completely different things! It offers a really good diversity of thought. It's not just a French school; it's an international school that happens to teach French."
BENJAMIN, CLASS OF 2015
"The Lycée gave me so much more than a bilingual education. It taught me how to be a critical thinker, collaborate with peers, and foster meaningful relationships with my professors."
MARGOT, CLASS OF 2020
