The word "lycée" is a classical term taken from the European educational tradition and refers to a type of school noted for its standards of academic excellence and devotion to each student's personal and intellectual development.
Lycées provide a high quality education which assures continuity of instruction for French children, while at the same time integrating the additional richness of the languages and cultures of the countries in which the schools are located. English speakers benefit from both the curriculum and from immersion into the French language.
The French school system is subdivided differently than the Canadian system. The structure compared to the Canadian educational system is outlined below.
