Lycée Français de Chicago (LFC) is AEFE-affiliated international school serving ages 3–18 in Chicago. The curriculum is immersion-based with two diploma tracks: the French Baccalaureate (BFI American Section) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, from pre-K through grade 12. Instruction is primarily in French, with English support through BFI and IB components. The BFI is bilingual and bicultural, blending French bac rigor with American inquiry-based learning to support university entry. LFC is an IB World School offering IB Diploma Programme in grades 11–12 and IB Middle Years Programme in grades 9–10, with BD and ABD options. Graduates earn a US high school diploma alongside the French Baccalaureate or IB Diploma. Bittersweet campus opened in 1995 and Wilson Campus in 2015, on 3.8 acres with facilities, including 50 classrooms, science labs, art studios, libraries, an innovation lab, a student life center, a gym and athletic fields.
