The Lycée Français Paul Valéry is a private French educational institution located in Colombia, affiliated with AEFE, and forms part of a four‑school AEFE network in Colombia.
Lycée Français Paul Valéry de Cali is a French international school serving Maternelle, Élémentaire and Secondaire, delivering the French national education system within the AEFE network. The school offers the French Baccalaureate and the Colombian Baccalaureate, and conducts instruction in French while teaching four languages—English, Spanish, French and Portuguese—supporting rapid bilingualism and multiculturalism. Classes emphasize differentiated pedagogy and the development of critical thinking in a diverse student body. The campus network centers on a rural Arroyohondo–Yumbo site of about 70,000 m2 with completed preschool facilities and ongoing primary and secondary buildings; the design prioritizes bioclimatic features, natural ventilation and daylight, and includes dedicated sports facilities. The Antigua La Flora site previously served multiple facilities and closed in 2022. The school is the only French lycée in Cali and operates under AEFE guidelines to foster autonomy, responsible citizenship and a high standard of education through its programs and extracurriculars.
