The school is an establishment of the Mission Laïque Française.
Lycée Victor Hugo in Florence is a French international day school housed in Palazzo Venturi Ginori. It serves preschool to terminale within the Mission laïque française network, and is part of AEFE. The curriculum follows the French national education system, with instruction delivered in French and an emphasis on Italian culture. From kindergarten, students study French, Italian, and English; from the fourth year a fourth language (German, Spanish, or Chinese) is added, and Latin is introduced from fifth grade. Languages are taught by native-speaking teachers, with groups organized by competence and recognized certificates (Cambridge English, CILS, DELE, etc.). In secondary, students take the DNB and the French Baccalauréat, and from seconde they may pursue EsaBac for a bi-national diploma. The school offers CHAM music, instrumental ensembles and orchestras in partnership with the Music School of Fiesole; a CDI; and a range of ateliers and exchanges to foster an international outlook.
