An education that opens up the world

The dual French-Chilean approach of our educational program enables our students to pursue diverse academic paths, with numerous opportunities in Chile and abroad, while developing high-level academic, linguistic, and cultural skills.

Throughout their school years, our students take various certification exams and tests that attest to their academic level and language proficiency, in line with the Chilean, French, and international curricula.

Currently, about 90% of our students earn a dual French and Chilean degree (BAC + Licencia de Educación Media, LEM).

DELF

An official certification from the French Ministry of Education that attests to a student's proficiency in French. It is optional for our students and is taken in 10th grade.

DNB

This diploma certifies the knowledge and skills acquired by the end of collège (equivalent to 8th grade); it is mandatory for all students and is taken in the 1st year of high school.

French Baccalaureate (BAC)

The BAC is the official high school diploma in France and is recognized internationally as well as in our country. It grants direct access to higher education in France, as well as to higher education in Chile at partner universities, through a special admissions process.

International French Baccalaureate (BFI)

A rigorous track of the French high school program that reinforces the international dimension of the curriculum, with high academic standards in languages (French, English, and Spanish) and an academic education of the highest quality.

PAES (Higher Education Entrance Exam)

A Chilean national exam that grants admission to universities in Chile, which our students can take upon completing high school, once they have obtained their High School Diploma (LEM).

Where do our students continue their studies?

Our graduates have access to a variety of higher education options in Chile and abroad, reflecting the strength of their academic training and their international outlook.

Studying in Chile

Each year, about half of the 12th-grade students at our school continue their studies in Chile.

Studying in France

Approximately one-third of our students choose to continue their studies in France, at universities, preparatory classes, engineering schools, business schools, schools of political science, and art schools, among others. Of these, about 40% are not French citizens.

On the other hand, many students who first study in Chile go on to pursue studies in France through exchange programs, specializations, or dual degree programs, thanks to their BAC diploma, which is valid for life.

Studies in Other Countries

Thanks to the international recognition of the BAC—and especially the BFI—a group of our students is continuing their studies in other countries, such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Spain, among others.
