For more than 75 years, the Colegio Franco Mexicano de Guadalajara (CFM) has been a unique educational space in Guadalajara, dedicated to academic excellence and a humanist, multilingual, and bicultural approach. It is a member of the AEFE network, sharing international quality standards and a cross-border Franco-Mexican educational community. In 1960, collège-level instruction began, and in 1991–1992 the first lycée generation appeared. The Lycée Français de Guadalajara building was designed by Alberto Kalach and Juan Palomar, with expansive green spaces. The address is Francisco Villa 235, Colonia El Bajío, 45019, Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico.
The Fondation of the Lycée Français de Guadalajara contributes to the integral development of students and the LFG community through educational, cultural, sporting, and social programs, to promote community ties and improve its environment. The Foundation is inclusive and promotes cooperation, the culture of peace, Franco-Mexican biculturalism, excellence in education focused on competencies, cultural diffusion, sport, and humanism. Its objectives include fostering closeness among community members through innovative projects, meeting families' needs such as scholarships and travel aid, expanding the social function of the LFG, promoting closer links with alumni, and encouraging cooperation with community support programs. Who can participate includes students, administrative staff, parents of students, the governance council, and partners. Our programs include scholarship funds, volunteering, and an alumni program.
Parents participate in school life through the Foundation and the governance council. The Foundation lists 'parents of students' as participants, reflecting active parental involvement. The governance council participates in the Foundation's activities and decision-making. Parents can contribute as volunteers through the Foundation's programs. The Foundation runs scholarship funds, volunteering, and an alumni program, inviting parental involvement. Parental involvement is structured within the Foundation and governance framework.
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.
