For any child, from toddlers to teenagers, school is more than an education. It’s a journey. From sports and arts to extensive after school programming, part of our mission is to enable students to develop their interests and talents both inside and outside the classroom, inspiring the whole child.

Nondiscrimination

Lycée Français de Chicago is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination and equal opportunity in its education programs and activities and employment. The School complies with all applicable laws and regulations that prohibit discrimination, harassment, and retaliation by and in the School, including but not limited to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.

The School will use the grievance procedures in the Student and Family Handbook to process complaints based on alleged violations of law or School policy.

No student, parent/guardian, employee, or other member of the School community will be subjected to retaliation as prohibited under any law or School policy, including those laws identified above. Retaliation is an adverse act imposed because a person has asserted a right or participated in a process involving the assertion of a right, including reporting a violation of law or School policy or participating in the grievance processes used to process complaints based on alleged violations of law or School policy.

Any person who believes any student, employee, or third party or the School generally has engaged in conduct prohibited by the laws cited above or School policy, including discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, or who has inquiries about the application of the laws cited above or School policy should contact the School’s Title IX Coordinator or Complaint Manager using the contact information below:
