About us
A full education from kindergarten through high school, fully accredited by the French Ministry of National Education.
Our elementary and middle school programs are fully recognized by the German state of Hessen as official Ersatzschulen, ensuring a state-approved education alongside our French curriculum.
The Lycée Français International Victor Hugo (LFIVH) welcomes around 1,000 students, from Maternelle (French kindergarten, from age 3) to Terminale (the final year of high school). Students have the opportunity to earn the Abibac, a unique high school diploma established through a Franco-German agreement in 1994.
LFIVH is open to students of all nationalities, including French-speaking students and those wishing to master the French language. Exchanges with French, German, and international schools are actively encouraged through concerts, school trips, sports competitions, and other collaborative events, fostering openness, sharing, and cultural exchange.
Language learning lies at the heart of LFIVH’s educational approach, in line with the principles promoted by the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE).
All programs are fully accredited by both the French Ministry of National Education and the state of Hesse. LFIVH obtained Ersatzschule status in 2004, Sekundarstufe accreditation in 2012, and Ausbildungsschule recognition in 2014.
A French School Within Frankfurt
Reflecting the evolution of the city of Frankfurt, the school has undergone continuous development. From its modest beginnings within the facilities of the Institut Français, LFIVH has grown into the impressive Lycée built by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Opened in 2002, the current premises house the elementary, middle, and high schools, and are situated in a quiet residential area in West Frankfurt, in Rödelheim/Westhausen.
The LFIVH is an institution under direct management which belongs to the AEFE network of schools.
AEFE: Agency for French Education Abroad
Under the authority of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, the AEFE manages the vast network of French educational establishments abroad: 535 schools in 139 countries, educating 370,000 students.
All of these approved establishments provide an education that meets the requirements, programs and teaching objectives of the French system.
It allows any student from one of these institutions to continue their education in any other French school without an entrance exam.
