The Lycée Français de Guadalajara delivers the French Ministry of Education curriculum for students aged 3 to 18 within an AEFE-affiliated, non-profit community. From maternelle through lycée, classes are conducted in French; English begins in primary and German in preparatory years. A regularisation program strengthens French, and the European English certificate is internationally recognized. The BAC is an international diploma opening doors to universities on five continents. The school maintains a multicultural identity, with a cross-border Franco-Mexican educational community and a 15-year project guiding students toward autonomy and critical thinking. The campus includes a nutritionist-supervised canteen blending French and Mexican cuisine, a school garden linked to Eco Franco, and three libraries (mediatheque, BCD, and CDI) serving different levels. Architecture emphasizes daylight and green spaces, with buildings designed by Alberto Kalach and colleagues around a guava tree. Activities include physical education, music courses, a Web Radio studio, and UNSS-coordinated after-school programs.
