Bilingual Education at EFAC: FLUENT IN LIFE!
Founded in 1981, the French American School of Chicago (EFAC) merges the strengths of French and American education, offering a rigorous bilingual and bicultural program recognized by the French Ministry of Education. Within the supportive frameworks of Abraham Lincoln Elementary School and Lincoln Park High School, EFAC students embark on a unique educational journey, fostering academic excellence and cultural fluency.
Dual Curriculum Advantage: Our program combines the French educational system’s depth with the broad, inclusive approach of American schools. From primary through high school, students engage in a curriculum that not only prepares them for the French Baccalaureate and International Baccalaureate but also opens pathways to prestigious universities worldwide.
Beyond Languages: EFAC’s bilingual education goes beyond mastering French and English. It cultivates critical thinkers and global citizens, ready to navigate and contribute to a multicultural world. Daily immersion in both cultures enhances students’ adaptability, cognitive flexibility, and analytical skills, preparing them for success in any field.
Collaborative Excellence: Our integration within American schools allows for seamless coordination of schedules and curricula, supported by a dedicated team of educators. This collaboration ensures a comprehensive learning experience, balancing academic rigor with personal growth and social engagement.
