Parents told me that their DCs were not fluent in French after 12 years. ( I had to wonder, then why send DC there?)

It’s a wonderful school! My DC attended the Lycee from age 3 through 12th grade. She took the French BAC track though, so I don’t know too much about the IB program (though I never heard a word against it and everyone attended great colleges). The Lycee does get smaller in high school, but that just means they get a lot of personal attention from the teachers.

I have neighbors whose kids have been there since they started school, one is in high school and the other in junior high. The mom teaches there as well. Great neighborhood, the one downside is the high school is small but overall the school has a positive reputation.

People seem to like it, and our daughter did a couple of summer camps there when she was very young and we had a good experience. It's in a nice neighborhood. We were good friends with a family who came from France so the dad could teach math there for 3 years. They seemed to enjoy it and enjoy being in Chicago. Sorry I don't have more to enlighten you. But if you have questions about the neighborhood, I can help.

Anyone have experience with Lycee Francais PK-12 school in Chicago? We are looking at the high school IB program but are interested in feedback generally. DC is coming from an international school background. Thank you!
