EFAC, The French American School of Chicago, is a bilingual French-American program located in Lincoln Park, integrated within the Chicago Public Schools through partnerships with Abraham Lincoln Elementary School and Lincoln Park High School. Founded in 1981 within ALES, the school expanded to LPHS in 1995-1996 and now serves Kindergarten through 12th grade. The French Ministry of National Education accredits the program for K–5 as CM2, while the middle and high school follow the CNED curriculum, with the option to pursue the French Baccalauréat, including the French section. The curriculum blends CPS curricula with French standards, featuring courses taught entirely in French across language, literature, mathematics, history and the arts, with deeper emphasis on literature, history and geography as students advance. The school also offers a bilingual International Baccalaureate framework to support study at international universities. EFAC benefits from the facilities and extracurricular opportunities of its CPS partners for students.
