Purpose Statement - “Our Vision: Aujourd’hui et Demain”

The Lycée Français de New York is steadfast in its purpose: to prepare our students today to be the thinkers, innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Our school has always drawn on the strength of our French and American underpinnings to create a unique bilingual, pluricultural learning experience here in New York City. We are forging ahead in providing the most relevant and inspiring education for our students in an interconnected, changing world. Following a process of rigorous self-assessment, we are proud to present a shared vision for the Lycée Français which sustains excellence and enables our students to fulfill their potential throughout their lives.

Our community of parents, faculty, staff, students and Trustees developed this plan together, building on our school’s core educational mission and objectives. This strategy affirms a path on which the Lycée Français de New York has already embarked and which identifies what we need to do to remain the best school we can in the years to come.
