Victor Hugo Lycée Français de Sofia

Admission to LVH is for the 2026-2027 school year. Enrollment in a French establishment homologated by the French Ministry of National Education implies full adherence by both parents and the student to its educational objectives, its principles and operating rules, and the cohesion and mobilization of the educational community around LVH's values. As parents, you participate in LVH's consultative bodies by electing your representatives. The school council and the council for the establishment involve school partners, particularly parents, in reflection on the life of the establishment, and it is essential that you are a participant in these bodies.
