The Lycée is thrilled to welcome you. More than anything else, we want to make your integration into our school and community as easy and enjoyable as possible. We recommend attending the General Information Meeting, typically held the day before school starts. Our Parent Association also provides a wealth of useful information and hosts special events for new families. If you choose to join our school, you will not only receive a helpful welcome packet, but also a mentor family that can answer questions and introduce you to other parents.

To download the Parent Association's "Bienvenue à Chicago" guidebook included in the welcome packet, click here.
